A British grandmother imprisoned in Indonesia for drug smuggling is set to return to the United Kingdom after serving most of her sentence.

The 75-year-old woman was convicted of attempting to traffic narcotics into Bali nearly a decade ago, drawing widespread media attention.

Her release follows diplomatic negotiations between the two governments and renewed discussions over the treatment of foreign nationals in overseas prisons.
