On Friday at Nusakambangan Island in
Central Java, the Indonesian government executed four convicted drug traffickers, including...
three
Nigerians and one Indonesian man, as it pushed ahead with its “war against
drugs”  |
| Attorney General H. Muhammad Prasetyo |
As many as 14 people were originally set to face the firing squad
together on Friday, one of which was Nigerian born Humphrey Ejike but officials decided a “comprehensive review” was
needed to “avoid any mistake” in the 10 cases, Attorney General H.
Muhammad Prasetyo said.
The date for the next round of executions has not been set, Prasetyo told reporters in Jakarta.
Amnesty International called the latest executions “a deplorable act
that violates international and Indonesian law” and pleaded that the
other death sentences not be carried out.
Around 152 people remain on death row in Indonesia, including
convicted drug traffickers from the Philippines, France and Britain,
according to the Attorney General’s Office.
