It wasn't an emotional appeal, it was a commonsensical one. I mean seriously, would you really think a poor single mother of two would smuggle drugs to a country she knows has a death penalty for such a thing?
Also providing her clemency is in the best interests of both the Phils and Indonesia, as it can help bring down an international drug and human trafficking syndicate which SUCCESSFULLY brings drugs into Indonesia anyway... And it would seem that your Government agrees...
