Indonesian President Megawati Sukarnoputri refused to pardon six convicted drug dealers currently on death row, a report said.
Megawati wanted a speedy execution for convicted drug traffickers, Kompas newspaper quoted Justice Minister Yusril Ihza Mahendra as saying.
"The president has taken a firm decision by rejecting appeals by those who have been sentenced to life imprisonment or death for drug cases," Mahendra was quoted as saying.
He gave no details of the six condemned convicts who sought Megawati's pardon.
The minister said Megawati's decision was backed by a recent cabinet meeting.
Kompas quoted Togar Sianipar, acting chief of the National Drugs Agency, as saying on February 3 that 20 foreign and local drug traffickers have been sentenced to death in recent years but none has been executed.
Among the 20 are five Nepalese, four Nigerians and two Thais, the daily said.
The group also includes an Angolan, a Pakistani, a Zimbabwean, five Indonesians and a Dutch national of Chinese-Indonesian ancestry, the newspaper said.
Indonesian courts have increasingly been handing out severe sentences, including death, for drug smugglers.
