The executions going on today that no-one is talking about
A group of eight prisoners, including the Australians Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran, has reportedly been executed for drugs offences in Indonesia.
By Amelia ButterlyNewsbeat reporter The executions took place in Besi prison on the island of Nusakambangan early on Wednesday morning local time. A Filipino woman also due to be executed is said to have been spared at the last minute. But away from the prison in Indonesia, other executions around the world today have been largely ignored. Here are some of them. Robert Pruett, US Due to be executed this evening in Texas, the 35-year-old is asking the US Supreme Court to stop his lethal injection. Robert Pruett is accused of killing prison officer Daniel Nagle in December 1999. Lawyers for Pruett say he is innocent and say advances in DNA technology support their claim. Munir Hussain, Pakistan Convicted of a double murder, Munir Hussain has been executed today in the Punjab province, making him the 100th person to be hanged there in the last four months. He had killed his nephew and niece over a land dispute in 2000. Amnesty International described it as a "shameful milestone". Faris al-Qahtani, Saudi Arabia Faris al-Qahtini, found guilty of shooting dead a man and stealing his money and car, has been beheaded today.
