"Ibu , please help us. Don't let us be shot by the firing squad ... We still have families and children," Edith Yunita Sianturi told Indonesia’s First Lady Kristiani Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, seeking clemency from the death sentence imposed on her.
Sianturi was one of six female inmates on death row at the Tangerang Penitentiary who were paid a visit by Kristiani and the State Minister for Women's Empowerment Meutia Hatta, accompanied by Banten deputy governor Ratu Atut Choisiah.
The visit to the women cells was in conjunction with the Women's Day on December 22.
As the six only had two minutes to meet Kristiani, they tearfully tried to stop her from leaving. Presidential bodyguards and prison officers pushed them back in.
