Euronews1 min read92 words
Indonesia’s drug legislation remains among the world’s strictest, prescribing the death penalty for individuals convicted of drug trafficking. Despite the legal provision, the government has observed a moratorium on carrying out executions for several years, halting all death‑row sentences from being fulfilled.
The suspension reflects a broader trend of cautious enforcement amid domestic and international scrutiny over capital punishment. Authorities continue to pursue severe penalties for drug offenses, yet the ongoing moratorium indicates a deliberate pause in applying the ultimate sanction, leaving the legal framework in place while execution practices remain suspended.
