The Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) urged the Indonesian government not to execute Mary Jane Veloso, a 30-year-old Filipino on Indonesia’s death row. The CBCP also appealed for prayers for Veloso, whom her lawyers said is wrongly accused of attempting to smuggle 2.6 kilograms of heroin into Indonesia. Balanga Bishop Ruperto Santos said in a statement on behalf of the CBCP, “We storm heavens with prayers that she be saved from this tragic fate. We join the appeal to the Indonesian authorities to spare her the death penalty.” Like Pope Francis, the CBCP consistently rejects the death penalty.
