Indonesia debe paralizar las ejecuciones previstas
Las autoridades indonesias deben paralizar de inmediato la ejecución de tres hombres que tiene previsto llevar a cabo de forma inminente, ha declarado Amnistía Internacional.
La ejecución de tres hombres prevista en Indonesia, un país que parecía estar distanciándose de esta práctica brutal, constituiría un importante retroceso en la aplicación de la pena de muerte.

“Deben paralizarse el resto de las ejecuciones en Indonesia. Ponen en entredicho muchos de los compromisos y las reformas en materia de derechos humanos adoptados por el gobierno indonesio en los últimos años. Cuando parecía que el presidente Yudhoyono iba a dejar un legado positivo en relación con los derechos humanos, antes de abandonar el poder el año que viene, ahora parece que va a ocurrir lo contrario.”

“More executions in Indonesia must be stopped. They call into question many of the human rights reforms and commitments made by the Indonesian government in recent years. Where it seemed that President Yudhoyono, who is due to step down next year, would leave a positive legacy relating to human rights, the opposite now appears to be the case.””
