An Indonesian court has upheld the death sentence of Lindsay Sandiford, a British grandmother found guilty of trafficking cocaine.
The 56-year-old Sandiford was sentenced to the capital punishment by a court in Bali in January for taking almost 5kg (10.6lb) of cocaine on to the island.
A spokesman said the Bali High Court, sitting in the island's capital Denpasar, had confirmed the sentence.
She can now appeal to the Supreme Court. If the court rejects her initial appeal, she can seek a judicial review of the decision from the same court.
After that, only the president can grant her a reprieve.
Sandiford, from Cheltenham. Gloucestershire, was arrested in May 2012 at Bali airport when customs officers found the drugs, worth £1.6m, in her luggage.
Sandifort after her arrest at Bali airport She said she had been forced to smuggle the drugs into Bali from Thailand by a criminal gang, and has cooperated with the police and local authorities.
Her cooperation has led to other arrests.
The death sentence came as a shock because prosecutors had recommended a 15-year imprisonment.
Her lawyer has said the punishment was out of proportion.
