United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon appealed to Indonesia not to execute prisoners on death

United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon appealed to Indonesia not to execute prisoners on death row for drug crimes, including citizens of Australia, Brazil, France, Ghana, Indonesia, Nigeria and the Philippines. U.N. spokesman Stephane Dujarric said Ban had spoken with Indonesian Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi "to express his concern at the recent application of capital punishment in Indonesia."
"The United Nations opposes the death penalty under all circumstances," Dujarric said in a statement. "The Secretary-General appeals to the Indonesian authorities that the executions of the remaining prisoners on death row for drug-related offenses not be carried out."
