Death penalty for drug trafficking
Two Australians are among eight convicted drug
smugglers who will be transferred this week to the prison island of Nusa Kambangan
for imminent execution, an official said Monday. Indonesia’s
president, Joko Widodo, has rejected repeated appeals by Australia’s
government for clemency for its citizens, Andrew Chan, 31, and Myuran
Sukumaran, 33, the ringleaders of a group arrested in 2005 for trying to
smuggle about 18 pounds of heroin to Australia. The other members of the group, known as the Bali Nine, have
received sentences ranging from 20 years to life.
