Death Penalty

Rights group Amnesty International called on Indonesia not to execute the killer who murdered 42 women in “black magic” rituals in 1998. The man, Ahmad Suraji, confessed to strangling most of the women and drinking their saliva to improve his magical powers after they came to him for help.Indonesia executed two Nigerian nationals for drug trafficking. The execution in Indonesia are by firing squad, usually carried out at night in isolated and undisclosed locations. The prisoner is notified of his execution date at least 72 hours beforehand.

 

Amnesti said it revognised the need to address serious crime, but was “convinced that the death penalty doesn’t not provide a solution.” According to Antara.com, beside Ahmad Suraji, there’re four other Indonesian would soon be executed after Mr. President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono rejected the clemency application.  

Di Indonesia sendiri, dalam kaca mata saya, banyak kasus yang pelakunya seharusnya mendapat hukuman mati. Pembunuhan dan child rape adalah contoh kasus yang seharusnya mendapat perhatian TEGAS dari aparat hukum di Indonesia. Hukuman 10-20 tahun terasa belum apa-apa bagi pelaku, harus ada sanksi BERAT yang bisa membuat mereka berpikir ribuan kali. So, I think the death penalty is a good solution and  let them think million times if they have planned to kill people.
