History is repeating itself again in Indonesia, where the Deputy Attorney General has confirmed that there’s no going back with his decision to execute 14 people on death row for drug crimes.
UN human rights officials have expressed deep concern over the planned executions, urging Jakarta to put an end to “unjust” capital punishment.
The inmates have not been officially named but they are known to include citizens of Nigeria, Zimbabwe, Pakistan and India.
The prisoners have been notified of the plans for their executions, in accordance with Indonesian law, and could be put to death as early as Friday.
The 14 have been put in isolation and the executions are due to take place by Sunday at the latest.
