Indonesian Court Sentences Members of International Drug-making Ring

印尼法庭将国际制毒集团成员判刑

An Indonesian court has sentenced to death two leaders of an illegal drug-making operation described as one of the biggest in the world. The two Indonesian men are to be executed by firing squad.

In a separate trial, a Frenchman and a Dutch national were each sentenced Monday to life in prison for their roles in the drug manufacturing gang. Five Chinese citizens were each sentenced to 20 years in prison for working in the drug factory.

In a raid a year ago on the facility on Indonesia's main island of Java, police found large stores of a drug known as Ecstacy, and the basic ingredients for its manufacture.

Indonesia routinely hands down harsh penalties for narcotics offenses. Several foreigners have recently been sentenced to death or long prison terms.
