A man is facing possible death penalty by firing squad after 'party island' drug arrest in Indonesia.
The 46-year-old man identified only by his initials CS and a 24-year-old Indonesian man identified as MR were arrested and charged after police raided a house in, a party island 100km west of Bali known as a hub for ecstasy and where hallucinogenic “magic mushroom” shakes are sold openly at restaurants and bars.
“I am waiting for the perpetrators, especially the immigrants, who dare to sell drugs in Bali. I will take decisive action.” An Indonesian policeman guards Nusakambangan prison in Cilacap, known as “execution island”. Picture: Bayu Nur/AFPThe public spectacles have been criticised by drug counsellors as unnecessary, counter-productive and illegal given none of the suspects had yet been convicted of any crimes.
