Indonesian authorities may soon begin the execution of the many drug offenders currently on death row, National Police Chief General Da'i Bachtiar said. "The National Police has readied troops to conduct the executions," Bachtiar said at an anti-drug rally in Jakarta. Bachtiar said that the police would only conduct the executions once an order had been issued by the prosecutor's office.
"Hopefully, they (the executions) will be announced soon," he said.
The head of the National Agency on Narcotics, Togar Sianipar told journalists that there were four people who had their demand for a presidential pardon rejected.
"The president has already rejected four demands for clemency," he said, adding that he planned to query the head of the Supreme Court and the Attorney General over why orders for their executions had not been issued.
He mentioned no names but said that one of them was currently detained in Medan, North Sumatra province.
