Indonesia on an execution spree

Indonesia has executed three convicted murderers, including a mother and son.
The latest execution in a line of state killings is a demonstration of authority over the 220 million people in the country.
Legal groups called for a last-minute stay of execution but the mother and son were executed by a firing squad early on Saturday in the Java town of Surabaya.
They were then blindfolded and shot by 20 police officers.
The pair were convicted of murdering five members of a single family 20 years ago during a dispute over money.
Another man was executed late on Friday in Banten province.
He was convicted of murdering eight people in a series of ritual slayings.

RE: KOKOMA
Are you suggesting that’s wrong? The meaning of justice in Indonesia is not for us to decide.

You didn’t mention, nor did you imply anything about the miscarriage of justice when you said “iN THE mUSLIM WORLD,IT IS EYE FOR AN EYE”. You statement suggests such punishment is wrong.

If is the law of the land than I would say it is justice that is if the action is in the fullest of the law and all efforts of investigation was done honestly to award such punishment.Is that clear Danny Boy.Is there any more question that bother you. Do ask and will be answer honest as I speak.
