Indonesia executes 8 prisoners including 4 Nigerians, spares Filipino woman at last minute

Indonesia has executed 8 of the 9 people convicted for drug offenses. The men all pictured above were taken to a jungle clearing on the island Nusakambangan according to local media reports and were executed at midnight Indonesia time by 12 police privates (that would be about 6pm Nigerian time). The only woman amongst them, Mary Jane Fiesta Veloso, was spared last minute after new information emerged about her case. A woman who reportedly tricked her into carrying drugs turned herself in earlier today. The bodies of the men will be taken by road to Jakarta later today.

Even if they did, you think it will be without negotiations? You think countries are in the business of giving out free prisoners right? Some prisoners are held for political collateral. You folks holding the U.S. In high regards, have a lot to learn. You will be shocked!!!

    As sad as it is for them to execute the drug carriers, those guys should have know better than trafficking in drugs in that country.

    It would have been very risky for indonesia to pardon these people because the news went viral...do you know the amount of people that would be confident to do drug in their country assuming these ones were pardoned? & do you know the amount of people that's probably stopped calling their drug contact because of this?
