Indonesia To Execute 11 More Convicts On Death Row, Including 7 Foreigners

The Indonesian government is set to execute by firing squad 11 more convicts in death row including seven foreigners who are serving sentences for drug-related offenses.

Indonesia's Attorney General HM Prasetyo said the 11 prisoners will be executed in Nusakambangan Island in Central Java, according to a report by the Jakarta Post.

Citing data from the Prasetyo's office, the report said the 11 death convicts consisted of four Indonesians, two Australians, one Filipino, one French, one Ghanaian, one Spanish and one Brazilian.

The list includes "Bali Nine" Australian convicts Andrew Chan and Mryan Sukumaran alias Mark who were convicted in 2005 after attempting to smuggle 8.3 kilos of heroin from Bali to Australia.

Last ditch efforts by the Australian government to save the two appear to be dim as Indonesian President Joko Widodo was firm in his policy not to grant executive clemency to drug convicts on death row.

Philippine national Mary Jane Fiesta Veloso is serving jail term for smuggling 2.6 kilos of heroin in Yogyakarta in April 2000.

An Indonesian court convicted French national Serge Areski Atlaoui in 2005 for possession of 290 kilos of ketamine and 316 drums of chemical substances.

Ghana native Martin Anderson alias "Belo" is serving sentence for possession of 50 grams of heroin in Jakarta in November 2003.

Raheem Agbaje Salami from Spain was found guilty of smuggling 5 kilos of heroin in 1999 while Brazilian Rodrigo Gularte is serving jail sentence for smuggling 19 kilos of cocaine inside his surfboard in 2004.

The four Indonesians on the list are drug convict Zainal Abidin, Syofial alias "Iyen bin Azwar" for murders, Sargawi alias "Ali bin Sanusi" for murder and rape, and Harun bin Ajis for murders.

Widodo rejected the appeals for clemency of the 11 death row convicts last year, the newspaper added.

According to Attorney General spokesman Tony Spontana, no date has been set for the execution.

"Basically, there has been no decision made yet on when the executions will be conducted. Just wait for the official announcement from the AGO," he said.

Last Jan. 18, Indonesia executed by firing squad five foreigners and one Indonesian.
