CANBERRA, Australia — Australia said it would withdraw its ambassador to Indonesia after two Australians were among eight drug traffickers executed by the Southeast Asian country on Wednesday, but was wary of escalating hostilities with its near neighbor despite a public outcry.
The executions by firing squad of the eight men — two Australians, four Nigerians, a Brazilian and an Indonesian — attracted wide international condemnation and intense Australian media coverage.
The UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights said given that Indonesia has asked for clemency for its own nationals facing execution in other countries, “it is incomprehensible why it absolutely refuses to grant clemency for lesser crimes on its own territory.”
But there was unexpected joy in the Philippines, where the government won an 11th-hour stay of execution for a Philippine woman also on death row on a drug conviction.
They sang till they were interrupted by the firing squad: Indonesian-Australian relations strained after execution | National Post
This isn't good news for Indonesian government. The West has heard and are not blind by the action that was carry out by the Indonesian government when dealing with illegal activities. What are your guys' opinion?
