Metrotvnews.com, Jakarta: The Task Force for Manpower Indonesia (TKI) claims to have successfully released 72 people from the threat of the death penalty in at least four countries. Of these, 24 of whom are in Saudi Arabia, 23 people in Malaysia, 22 people in China, one in Singapore and two in Iran.This was stated by a spokesman for Task Force and the Coordinator of Advocacy and Legal Assistance Litigation Case Handling citizens / workers in the State Threatened Death Penalty, Humphrey Djemat Task Force in a press release received in Jakarta, Saturday (2/6).According to Humphrey, the number of citizens or workers who regardless of the death penalty because the government's best efforts, including diplomatic efforts by President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono. Often the government's attention to the interests of certain citizens to obtain waivers on request state sentence."Surely the government's actions result in action resipokal (reciprocal) from other countries. Consequently, many Indonesians or TKI that regardless of the death penalty or commuted his sentence, including as a taxable capital punishment for drug crimes," he said.Task Force spokesman said it was the release of 72 people from the threat of the death penalty proves that diplomacy is going pretty effectively save the lives of citizens or workers.So the allegation that states that no citizen or government workers who successfully freed by the efforts of diplomacy, said Humphrey, is unfounded and untrue.According to him, based on experience during the task force is associated with countries that are very hard to apply the penalties for drug crimes such as Malaysia and China, the act of releasing or easing foreign citizens from the threat of the death penalty is not meant to discourage law enforcement in the country."The same thing applies in Indonesia," he said.

·         My Opinion :

Applaud the government's performance in protecting the heroes of this country's foreign exchange. This could be a consideration for other state sentencing for the workforce of our country. But keep in mind that many of us who labor neara tangled legal case that heavy-nagara in other countries. I hope the government can continue to pursue the defense of our workforce who tangled case law in other countries. In addition, I also expect the cooperation of the workforce that their fate in other countries, in order to behave better and more carefully, given the laws in every nation bloc varies  and also the government can not continue to seek exemption for their first which has proven to be illegal for any reason.
