JAKARTA (Reuters) - Indonesia was set to repatriate a Frenchman on Tuesday who has spent two decades on death row for drug offences, a senior minister said, joining a list of long-term prisoners sent home by Jakarta in recent months.
Serge Atlaoui, sentenced to death for being a chemist in an ecstasy factory, will depart from Jakarta with French authorities who have been in the capital since Saturday, law and human rights minister Yusril Ihza Mahendra said.
"As agreed with the French government, the transfer will occur on February 4," he said by text message on Tuesday.
