Frenchman Serge Atlaoui, on Indonesia's death row since 2007 for drug offenses, was released and transferred to France on humanitarian grounds due to illness. Arrested in 2005, he denied being a trafficker, claiming he was installing machinery in a suspected acrylic factory. Initially sentenced to life, it was later changed to death. His return follows a France-Indonesia agreement, amid Jakarta’s recent releases of high-profile detainees.
