The decision to execute Archer “gravely affects relations” between the two countries, the presidency said in an e-mailed statement. The Brazilian ambassador to Indonesia, based in Jakarta, is being summoned to Brasilia for consultations, the statement added.
Indonesian President Joko Widodo yesterday rejected a plea from President Dilma Rousseff to spare Archer and Rodrigo Gularte from the death penalty, saying he couldn’t commute the sentence because all judicial proceedings had followed Indonesian law and the Brazilian citizens had been granted due process.
Brazil’s Prosecutor General Rodrigo Janot also sent a letter to Indonesia’s Attorney General HM Prasetyo yesterday, requesting an eight-week delay to Archer’s execution by firing squad. In the same letter, he said he saw the possibility for commutation of Gularte’s death sentence for immunity reasons. Gularte was not scheduled to be executed today.
