TEMPO.CO, Jakarta-The National Police Community Relations Division Chief Brig. Gen. Boy Rafli Amar said police have prepared the firing squad for the third round of execution.
“We have held coordination meeting for the execution. We are waiting for [instructions from] the Attorney General’s Office. We will only help in the execution,” Boy said Monday, May 2, 2016.
On several occasions, Attorney General M. Prasetyo has confirmed that the third round of execution is currently being discussed. However, he has not specified the execution date. Prasetyo has been trying to avoid any drama in this round of execution as happened in the previous rounds.
Earlier, the second round of execution of eight convicts on drug trafficking had been carried out on April 29, 2015 at Nusakambangan Penitentiary, Cilacap, Central Java.
The third round of execution with 14 drug trafficking convicts will be carried out in the first week of May 2016 also at Nusakambangan Penitentiary.
