Foreign domestic workers and their supporters demonstrate in the lobby of the Philippine consulate in Hong Kong in favor of Mary Jane Veloso, a Filipina overseas worker who was arrested and sentenced to death for smuggling heroin into Indonesia. She claims she was duped. Her case has sparked international attention towards Indonesia's capital punishment and drug prohibition laws, and the vulnerability of overseas workers.
Holding the sign on the right is Hanindha Sabatta Kristy, a United Methodist global mission fellow. Beside her is Sushi Au, another global mission fellow. Both work with church-sponsored ministries with domestic workers in Hong Kong.
