Indonesian President Megawati Sukarnoputri said she would not pardon any convicted drug traffickers on death row. "I would like to point out that I will not grant pardon for those who clearly have been sentenced to death for trafficking those illegal substances," Megawati was quoted as saying in a speech to a crowd in North Sulawesi province. Her statement came after Amnesty International urged her to commute death sentences for Indian national Ayodhya Prasad Chaubey and three other prisoners. The government had said the four would be the first drug traffickers executed in the country in recent years.
