"The European Union has learned with dismay that despite previous expressions of concern of the EU and human rights organisations to the Indonesian authorities, Indonesia has carried out an execution in Medan."
In doing so, Indonesia has abolished its de facto moratorium on the death penalty," read a statement by the intergovernmental organization.
"Reiterating the EU's principled stance against the death penalty and recalling the fact that the EU has discussed this stance with the Indonesian authorities on several occasions, the EU would like to express its regret on the recent execution in Medan.
The EU urges the Indonesian government to refrain from carrying out more executions and thereby reinstall the de facto moratorium. Furthermore the EU hopes that Indonesia will consider the abolition of the death penalty and to enshrine this abolition in law."
