I am sure in the USA live people that would cheer her execution. I believe those are called Muslims.Originally Posted by PolWatch
Shooting a woman whose defense is she was doing it under threat by thugs, seems to me to be a reason enough not to kill her. Do you endorse death for carrying cocaine inserted inside a false compartment in a suitcase?

Look at the death penalty thread for answers to all your questions.

It seems Indonesia does not want their citizens executed by other countries.
From wikipedia (no snark please)
Prisoners (particularly those convicted of murder, terrorism or drug trafficking offences) spend a long time in prison before their sentence is finally carried out. Usually their final appeal has been exhausted through the courts and President. Prisoners and their families are notified 72 hours in advance of their pending execution.[7] They are usually transferred to Nusa Kambangan island.[7] They are woken up in the middle of the night and taken to a remote (and undisclosed) location and executed by firing squad. The method has not changed since 1964.[8]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital...t_in_Indonesia
Capital punishment in Indonesia is restricted to 16 crimes. Though thedeath penalty existed as a punishment from the inception of the Republic of Indonesia, the first execution did not take place until 1973.[1]
The Indonesian government does not issue detailed statistics about every person facing the death penalty in the country. In fact, "the search for precise figures is hampered by prevailing state secrecy over the death penalty."[2] It is believed, however, that there are around 130 people, Indonesians and foreign nationals, currently (as of 2013?) sentenced to die in Indonesia. About ten new death sentences are handed down annually, though executions are infrequent. Many of the prisoners awaiting execution have been waiting for ten years or more. Four executions took place in 2013, the first since 2008. In 2014, no executions took place. In January 2015 six people (among them one Dutchman, one Brazilian, one Vietnamese, one Malawian and Nigerian) were shot for drug-related crimes.[3] In April 2015, another eight men, including several Nigerian nationals, one Brazilian and two Australian citizens were executed, also for drug trafficking.[4][5] Indonesia is well noted as "a strong advocate against the death penalty for its citizens abroad."[6]
Capital punishment is carried out in Indonesia by a firing squad. The blindfolded prisoner is led to a grassy area where they have an option to sit or stand.[8] The 12 armed executioners shoot the prisoner in the chest from a range of five to ten metres.[8] Only three fire live bullets and the rest fire blanks.[8] If the prisoner does not die, the Commander is required to issue a final bullet to the prisoner's head.[9]

But mostly Christians, because it is their laws we live under.
Republicans at Debate Cheer Executions—but the Death Penalty Is in Decline

However those against the DP are of many faiths:
150 innocent people have been freed from death row.

Which of our laws belong to Christians as an article of their faith?
Grandma has sat in jail for many years. Did you see the photo they took of her?
That reminds me of city zoos.
It is no skin off my nose if this country stops executing, state by state as well as the Federales.
Not my call though.

I strongly disagree with the death penalty.
People traveling should note that their citizenship doesn't afford them any special rights.

The DP in this country came right out of the bible:

Deuteronomy 19:21
Show no pity: life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.

Actually the idea predates the bible with the Code of Hammurabi.
