10 FOREIGNERS ON EXECUTION LIST COUNTRY HEADLINES
Police have revealed that 10 foreigners would be among the 15 people to face the firing squad in the next round of executions, expected soon. Central Java Police Spokesman Sr. Comr. Liliek Darmanto said of the 10, four were Chinese, two Senegalese, two Nigerians, one Pakistani and one from Zimbabwe, according to local media reports. “There are a total of 15 drug traffickers to be executed on Nusakambangan,” he said. Increased security at Nusakambangan prison island in Central Java, where the executions are due to take place, prompted speculation that they would occur within weeks, if not days. Local newspapers Republika and Media Indonesia quoted Darmanto as saying that the executions would take place this month. “But I cannot mention the names of each convict. It is the jurisdiction of the AGO [Attorney General’s Office] to announce the details. However, I can tell you that there are women among the convicts,” Darmanto told The Jakarta Post. The AGO has reportedly sent a list of the convicts due for execution to Central Java Police. Media sources said that five Indonesian citizens were on the list, which included four men and one woman.
The list of nationalities revealed by police did not include Filipino death row prisoner Mary Jane Veloso, who was arrested for smuggling 2.6kg of heroin into Indonesia in 2010. Veloso has long claimed she was tricked into carrying the drugs. The 31-year-old mother-of-two won a reprieve in April last year, just hours before she was due to face the firing squad alongside eight others, including
Australians Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran. "She is still waiting for the finalisation of the legal process in the Philippines. When she was due to be executed previously, a woman surrendered [to the Philippines authorities] and claimed that Mary Jane had been a victim of human trafficking," Attorney General M. Prasetyo said, according to the Jakarta Globe. British grandmother Lindsay Sandiford was also not on the list. Sandiford, one of the most high-profile foreigners on death row in Indonesia, was caught trying to smuggle cocaine into Bali in 2013.
Despite increased security at Nusakambangan, the government has remained tight-lipped about when the executions would occur. A spokesman for the National, Police Brig. Gen. Boy Rafli Amar, was quoted as saying that he had yet to receive the list of convicts due for execution. According to Amar, the National Police should receive it 14 days before the date of execution. The Attorney General, however, said the executions would still focus on drug cases, and that the government wanted people to know that Indonesia was taking the fight against drugs seriously. “Preparations have been conducted and the legal base as well. We just need to choose the time,” Prasetyo said. Central Java Police have sent 150 Mobile Brigade (Brimob) personnel to Nusakambangan. Six death row convicts were put to death in the first round of executions on 18 January 2015 and another eight on 29 April that same year.

Residents Warned of Potential Mudflow from Mount Sinabung
The Karo Disaster Mitigation Agency (BNPB) in North Sumatra sent out a warning to residents around Mount Sinabung on Tuesday 10 May alerting them to the impeding risk of mudflows or debris after a child was killed on Monday 9 May. A powerful mudflow occurred on Monday that destroyed several houses in Kuta Mbaru village. The potential for further mudflows remains likely considering recent intense rainfall in the region, a spokesman said. He also reminded residents to stay alert for possible eruptions at Mount Sinabung after an increase in activity over the past few days.
Sources: The Jakarta Post | Antara News
Comments: Authorities have banned people from coming within 4km of the volcano’s crater, which has been on the highest alert status (level IV/ dangerous) since June 2015. Volcanologists believe that Mount Sinabung will remain very active over the next few years.

TRANSPORT & TRAVEL
Blue Bird Teams Up With GO-JEK
Indonesia's biggest taxi operator, Blue Bird, has teamed up with motorcycle taxi ride-hailing app GO-JEK in an attempt to bolster its services despite clashes during massive protests by drivers working for conventional taxi companies against the application in March. The two companies have decided to join forces and form a partnership involving technology, payment and promotion. “The cooperation will enable passengers to hail Blue Bird taxis via the Gojek app. We hope in one or two weeks that we can implement the partnership,” a spokesman for Blue Bird said on Monday 9 May, adding that no agreement had been signed as yet.
Sources: The Jakarta Post | Republika | Kompas | Detik News
Comments: The cooperation marks a new phase for Blue Bird and GO-JEK. Thousands of Blue Bird taxi drivers rallied on the streets of Jakarta in March against the growing popularity of app-based transportation services, such as Gojek, Uber and Grab, which it claimed were operating illegally. Fights broke out between striking Blue Bird drivers and those boycotting the industrial action.

Pilot Strike Update: Flights Resume after Pay Dispute Settled
The Ministry of Transportation will impose sanctions on Lion Air, the largest low-cost airline in Indonesia, because of flight delays in many parts of the country caused by yesterday’s pilot strike. Pilots had protested the delayed payment of allowances, leaving thousands of passengers stranded at a number of airports on Tuesday 10 May, including Soekarno-Hatta Airport. A spokesman for state-run airport operator Angkasa Pura I said that 18 flights were delayed as the result of the strike. A spokesman for the company said that the late payment was caused by the recent long weekend and that the issue had since been settled. Flight services returned to normal on Tuesday afternoon.

Police Crack Down on Communist Imagery
President Joko Widodo has ordered law enforcers to ban the use of communist imagery. National Police Chief Gen. Badrotin Haiti said on Tuesday 10 May merchandise and activities referencing communism has been found in markets. Last week, police detained two people for selling t-shirts of German-based thrash metal band Kreator in Blok M Mall and Blok M Square in South Jakarta, which were emblazoned with the hammer and sickle, similar to the logo of the outlawed Indonesian Communist Party (PKI). Both were released after police found no evidence linking them with the PKI.

President Orders Acceleration of Government Spending
President Joko Widodo has called on his ministers to accelerate the disbursement of the state budget in order to invigorate economic activities. Less than 11 percent of the budget was disbursed in the first quarter of 2016 due to the slow preparation of government projects, according to the finance ministry. Analysts said that this had caused the economic growth to decline to 4.9 percent in the first quarter, down from 5.1 percent in the same period last year.

Racial Conflict May Happen During Gubernatorial Election
The results of a survey showed on Tuesday 10 May that racial and religious conflicts could still happen in Jakarta if gubernatorial candidates and political elites continue to spread hatred. “Political conflict, no matter how small, should not be taken lightly but as a warning. If relevant parties fail to handle this issue properly, the worst case scenario is possible,” a spokesman for surveyor IndoStrategis said on Tuesday 10 May. Even so, the majority of respondents believed that such incidents would not happen. The spokesman said that religious and ethnic differences could create tensions if candidates’ personal backgrounds were exploited rather than their track records and performance. However, he went on to say that defaming a candidate based on faith or race was not an effective strategy to gain votes, as proven when Joko Widodo and Basuki Tjahaja Purnama won the 2012 Jakarta gubernatorial election, despite attacks on their faith and ethnicity.
Source: The Jakarta Post
Comments: Although the election is 10 months away, activists have urged the public not to fuel rising tensions by judging would-be candidates based on their religion and ethnicity. During a rally held by residents of Luar Batang in North Jakarta on 3 May, a banner with “Ahok Sumber Masalah, Ganyang Cina” (Ahok is the problem, abolish Chinese in Indonesia) was seen.
Government Mulls 3-in-1 Traffic Policy
Jakarta Governor Basuki Tjahaja Purnama said that his administration was still evaluating whether it would permanently revoke the 3-in-1 traffic policy, which some claim to be ineffective in reducing traffic congestion. After a series of trials aimed at combatting the capital’s notorious gridlock, there had been suggestions that the controversial traffic calming policy could be reintroduced in the afternoons.
