Death By Firing Squad

My blog post last week shed some light on two drug traffickers from Australia who were caught in Indonesia. If you missed it, Many countries, including the U.S. and Australia are pleading with the Indonesian government to release these two prisoners, rather than execute then on death row. Still, Indonesia is adamant about no tolerance and no special treatment for foreign visitors. In fact, the enclosed article to BBC states that these two men, leaders of the "Bali Nine" were transferred to another island that will be their execution cite. They have been sentenced to death by firing squad. To some, this may seem extreme. But again, I ask the question, will harsher punishments for foreigners prevent future crimes abroad? And what if there was more consistency?
