00:17Even though she was involved in a drug case,

01:01What we want to add is appreciation for the government's steps.

01:10We also hope that the government will pay attention

01:14to other criminal cases,

01:17including Indonesian citizens,

01:19who are still under the threat of death penalty execution.

01:31regarding these criminal cases,

01:33especially for those who have been in prison for a long time.
