Indonesia will execute nine drug smugglers by firing squad early on Wednesday, the country’s attorney general said, in a decision that may raise diplomatic tensions with neighbor Australia.
All nine convicts will be executed at the same time early Wednesday local time, Attorney General H.M. Prasetyo said in a televised press conference in Jakarta late Tuesday. Tuesday is also the last opportunity for the nine to talk with their families at a prison in Nusa Kambangan island off Java, he said earlier.
