Last year Indonesia, which ranks 5th on our list of top 12 countries that have the death penalty or use capital punishment for drugs, executed four prisoners who were convicted for drug trafficking. The execution, which took place on the July 29th, attracted global attention especially because two prisoners had their clemency requests pending at the time of execution. Moreover, Indonesia put 60 people on the death row last year. Of these 46 were convicted of drug-related crimes and 14 for murder.
