Australian faces death penalty for drug trafficking in Bali

The Nightly is reporting that "Nearly 20 years after a group of Australians were sentenced to the death penalty in Indonesia over an attempt to smuggle drugs out of the country, another Australian man could now the firing squad over an alleged $1.1 million drug bust."

The Independent is reporting that "An Australian man has been arrested in Bali and could face execution by firing squad after Indonesian authorities accused him of receiving and intending to distribute 1.7kg of cocaine on the island."

"Lamar Aaron Ahchee, 43, originally from Cairns in northern Queensland, was taken into custody last Thursday in the beachside area of Canggu, following a joint surveillance operation by Bali police and customs officials."

Death by firing squad. Drug trafficking in those countries just isn't worth it.
