Fifteen inmates will face the firing squad in Indonesia's next round of executions. Five are Indonesians. The rest, according to local media, are foreign—four Chinese, one Pakistani, two Nigerians, two Senegalese and one Zimbabwean.

The composition of execution lineup suggests an attempt to avoid the intense international attention and outcry that happened when Jakarta executed a total of 14 drug convicts last year—all but two of them foreign citizens.
