“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.””
