Indonesian headlines: Operatic barbarism

By Lauren Gumbs

The Indonesian media is following the executions minute by minute, with around the clock coverage of the progress of the situation. This is an incredibly populist topic with many poised to see their president follow through on an internationally condemned decision that will cement Indonesia's new foreign policy paradigm. It is insightful, though somewhat macabre, to observe what is being reported around the death penalty levelled against so many foreign nationals.

These are the headlines (topik terhangat) Tuesday 28 April from some of the country's biggest newspapers:
