Ramsay, 39, was also given a £265 fine, said presiding Judge I Wayan Mertha of the Denpasar District Court.

Ramsay, who was arrested in February with 100 milligrams of heroin in his pocket during a search outside a supermarket, sat quietly as the ruling was read out.

He said he had not yet decided if he would file an appeal.

Under Indonesia's tough drug laws, Ramsay could have faced up to 10 years in jail, but the panel of three judges decided to be lenient after he pleaded guilty and expressed remorse, Mertha said.

Ramsay's lawyer, Erwin Siregar, told reporters the sentence was too harsh because the heroin was intended for personal use, not for distribution.

His client has for years struggled with drug addiction.
