Indonesia has received a formal request from France to transfer Serge Atlaoui, a French national on death row since 2005, following increasing pressure from Paris.
The Indonesian government has recently agreed to the transfer of high-profile foreign detainees on death row, raising hopes for others like Atlaoui.
Serge Atlaoui was arrested in 2005 and accused of being a chemist at a drug production facility; he insists he was merely installing machinery.
While Indonesia has tough drug laws, including the death penalty, the government has indicated plans to resume executions after a hiatus since 2016.
