Indonesia: Execution puts at risk those arrested for drug case
EU urges Indonesian government not to execute nine people sentenced to death for drug production
The European Union (EU) has formally asked the Indonesian government not to execute nine people, including a Frenchman and a Dutchman, who were sentenced to life in prison for working for an ecstasy-making drug company near Jakarta.
In a letter to the Indonesian Foreign Ministry, the German EU Presidency "regrets the death sentence by the Supreme Court on 29 May of two Europeans, five Chinese and two Indonesians" and adds that "it is opposed to his sentence. death whatever the circumstances. "
Indonesia, the largest Muslim country in the world, has very strict laws on drug use and trafficking, and it will be difficult to change the decision to carry out the death penalty for those arrested.
