Indonesian firing squads execute five foreign drug smugglers

Two women shot dead by firing squads in Indonesia this weekend. They were among six drug smugglers executed after the president brushed aside last-minute diplomatic efforts to secure them clemency.

Tran Bich Hanh, 37, of Vietnam, and 26-year-old Indonesian Rani Andriani were both shot to death shortly after midnight on Saturday after exhausting all their possibilities for appeal and clemency.

The final wish of Tran, who had begged to be allowed to be executed in her home country, was to face the firing squad uncuffed. It was granted.

Isn't that nice. We need to work more closely with these people to make sure these executions work well with the Family, as well.
