A woman facing six month in prison in Indonesia for recording her boss' sexual harassment is expected to receive a presidential amnesty after an outcry over the sentence.

Attorney-General Muhammad Prasetyo said Friday he suspended enforcement of the sentence and a 500 million rupiah (USD 35,000) fine that was recently upheld by the Supreme Court.

Prasetyo says he was listening to the "growing feeling for justice."
