Schapelle Corby, serving a 20-year jail term in Indonesia for drug smuggling, has applied for presidential clemency, saying she is suffering from depression that could endanger her life.

Corby was convicted in May 2005 of smuggling marijuana onto the resort island of Bali.

A registrar at the Denpasar District Court on Monday said that Corby had filed a clemency application late last month citing her poor mental state and asking for her sentenced to be reduced.

Clemency decisions in Indonesian can take months.
