Four Face Death Penalty After Bali Drug Arrests

Indonesian authorities detained six individuals, including two Thai nationals and two Europeans, under strict drug laws on the tourist island.

Two Thai nationals were arrested at Bali's Ngurah Rai airport on September 8 with 1.9 kilograms of methamphetamines mixed with ecstasy powder and 20 ecstasy pills.
Two Indonesian nationals were subsequently arrested for allegedly ordering the drugs from Thailand.
All four individuals could face execution by firing squad if found guilty under Indonesia's severe anti-drug laws.
In July, a Latvian man was arrested at the airport with 450 grams of hashish and 977 grams of marijuana, facing a potential life sentence.
A Swedish man was detained in a villa with 201 grams of hashish, possibly facing up to 15 years in prison.
