The migrant advocate group is calling for the release of Veloso, who celebrated Friday her 40th birthday at the Correctional Institute for Women in Mandaluyong City where she continues to serve her sentence from an Indonesian court for her drug trafficking case.
Veloso was arrested by Indonesian authorities after she was caught carrying a luggage with 2.6 kilograms of heroin in an Indonesian airport in 2010. She said she was unaware of the content of the luggage when it was handed to her by her recruiters, who are currently facing human trafficking charges.
