Amnesty International urged Indonesia to commute the death sentence passed on an Indian who, the government hoped, would be the first drug trafficker executed in the country in recent years. Amnesty issued a statement urging President Megawati Sukarnoputri to commute the death sentence on Ayodhya Prasad Chaubey and three other prisoners due to be executed. The Jakarta Post said earlier in the week that the attorney general's office was making preparations for Chaubey's execution after the Supreme Court for a second time rejected his request for a case review.
Amnesty said the death penalty was a violation of one of the most fundamental rights -- the right to life. "There is no proof that the death penalty deters would-be traffickers more effectively than other punishments," Amnesty said.
Chaubey was caught in 1994 as he tried to smuggle 12 kilograms (26.4 pounds) of heroin into the country. He was sentenced to death a year later.
