Media reports yesterday revealed that four more Taiwanese charged with drug trafficking were 
sentenced to death in Indonesia on Aug 24.
The four men were found in possession of 26 kg of methamphetamine, also known as “ice” or crystal meth, in November 2015. The men can still appeal the sentence in a higher court.
In late January, three Taiwanese men were also sentenced to death for drug trafficking. This was a final verdict and the men are looking to make an extraordinary appeal.
Five Taiwanese nationals were arrested on Aug. 18 in northern Jakarta in connection with the discovery of 60 kg of methamphetamine, and three other Taiwanese men were charged with drug trafficking on May 20. Both cases have yet to be decided in court. [FULL STORY]
