Indonesia’s President Joko Widodo has instructed law enforcement officers to shoot drug traffickers as punishment to drug dealers in the country.
The recent order could be likened to that of Philippine’s President Rodrigo Duterte, who launched a brutal anti-drug crackdown about a year ago that saw many alleged drug dealers killed without due trial.
