The two women have said they thought they were taking part in a prank for a TV show.
An Indonesian woman held for two years on suspicion of killing North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's half brother was freed from custody Monday after Malaysian prosecutors unexpectedly dropped the murder charge against her.
"I feel very happy," she said later at a news conference at the Indonesian Embassy."I didn't expect that today will be my freedom day." The trial will resume Thursday, with prosecutors expected to reply to a request by Huong's lawyers asking the government to similarly withdraw the charges against her.
The ministry said that over the past two years, Aisyah's plight was raised in"every bilateral Indonesia-Malaysia meeting," including at the president's level, the vice president's level and in regular meetings of the foreign minister and other ministers with their Malaysian counterparts. Wearing a red headscarf and a black flowery traditional dress, Aisyah was composed during the news conference. She said that she was well treated in prison and received plenty of encouragement, but that she was eager to meet her family again.
"She is entitled to the same kind of consideration as Aisyah," he said."We are making representation to the attorney general for Doan to be taken equally ... there must be justice."
