A hacker group allegedly composed of Filipinos defaced several Indonesian websites on Tuesday as it protested the planned execution of Mary Jane Veloso.
However, the Filipina convicted for drug trafficking, narrowly escaped execution when the Indonesian government led by President Joko Widodo granted her an 11th hour reprieve early Wednesday morning.
Blood Security International released the list of the defaced websites which include:

In their message posted on the hacked websites, the group demanded the release of Veloso.
“I ask for your clemency and for the release of my fellow Filipino, Mary Jane Veloso. All she wanted was to find a job in your country to support her family. She didn’t want what happened. Her children need her. She was just used to carry the drugs into your territory,” the group said.
The hackers also slammed the concept of death penalty, saying that it is “nothing short of barbaric.”
“The death penalty is nothing short of barbaric. Most criminals could better pay for their crimes by giving back good for the rest of their lives. Those who are unable to should suffer the punishment of incarceration,” the group said.
They said that those judges who implement death penalty are “murderers.”
Upon learning that a reprieve was granted to Veloso, Blood Sec International said that they will cease their “cyber war” with Indonesia.
“No more cyberwar. How about let’s play Dota 2 5v5 PH-Indo? Just for fun,” the group posted on their Facebook page.
They also hacked several Chinese websites on Tuesday in protest of the said country’s aggressive actions in the West Philippine Sea.
Veloso, a 30-year-old mother of two, was convicted for drug trafficking after she was caught with 2.6 kilograms of heroin in her bag when she arrived in Yogyakarta Airport in 2010.
She was set to be executed on Wednesday along with eight other drug convicts. However, when Maria Kristina Sergio, the alleged recruiter of Veloso, turned herself in to the police on Tuesday morning, President Benigno Aquino III asked the Widodo government to spare the Filipina because her testimony is needed in court.
