Indonesia executes Indian

A police firing squad on Thursday executed an Indian national found guilty of smuggling heroin into Indonesia the first time Jakarta has carried out a death sentence since 2001.

Ayodhay Prasad Chaubey's execution came despite pleas for clemency by the Indian Embassy, the European Union and rights group Amnesty International, who had complained his trial fell short of international standards of fairness

"Ayodhay was shot in the heart from a distance of 10 meters (32 feet)," said north Sumatra prosecutor chief Sudibyo Saleh.

India decides to kill one of its own citizens, and now an Indian is killed by the Indonesian authorities. Guess legal murders are becoming commonplace.
