A total of six Nigerians are to be executed any time from
now in Indonesia over drug charges. They are out of the 14 to be killed despite
the global outcry. The second person on the list, Humphrey Jefferson Ejike
Eleweke has refused to sign the papers claiming he is innocent. See the list
below:
Michael Titus claimed they forced him to talk by
electrocuting his genitals.

Week For Drugs
Lawyers in Indonesia are racing to lodge last-minute
clemency appeals with President Joko Widodo as it appears increasingly certain
that 14 prisoners will be executed this weekend for the fourteen prisoners on death row, including inmates from
Nigeria, Pakistan, India and South Africa, and four Indonesians, have been
moved to isolation holding cells on Nusa Kambangan.
The prison island off Central Java is the site where two
rounds of executions were conducted last year: six prisoners were killed in
January and eight, including Australians Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumuran, in
April.
Ostensibly hoping to avoid the international outcry that
surrounded those executions, the government is yet to formally announce the
specifics of the third round, stating only that it is fast approaching.
However, it is understood that after the diplomatic strain
that followed the executions of 14 inmates last year, nationals from the US and
Britain, includingBritons Lindsay Sandiford and Gareth Cashmore, and American
Frank Amado, will not face the firing squad this round.
Based on visits to prisoners held in isolation cells at Nusa
Kambangan on Tuesday, a group of lawyers from the Community Legal Aid Institute
(LBH) have compiled an unofficial list of those set to be executed.
