On
9 April Indonesian Attorney General HM Prasetyo made a statement
implying that his office may carry out the executions of 10 prisoners
after the Asia-Africa Conference, which is being held between 19 and 24
April in the Indonesian city of Bandung.
Although
the final list of those facing executions has yet to be announced, the
death row prisoners facing imminent executions are believed to include Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran (both Australian, males), Raheem Agbaje Salami (Nigerian, male), Mary Jane Fiesta Veloso (Filipino, female), Zainal Abidin (Indonesian, male), Martin Anderson, alias Belo (Ghanaian, male), Rodrigo Gularte (Brazilian, male), Sylvester Obiekwe Nwolise (Nigerian, male), Okwudili Oyatanze
(Nigerian, male) and one other individual. All 10 were sentenced to
death for drug trafficking, an offense that does not meet the threshold
of the “most serious crimes” for which the death penalty may be imposed
under international law. Indonesian President Joko Widodo rejected their
clemency applications in December 2014 and January 2015.
