ournalists from electronic and print media have flocked to the area around Wijayapura port in Cilacap, Central Java, ahead of the imminent executions of 10 death-row inmates.
After all foreign envoys and inmates' relatives and lawyers were summoned for a last visit to the condemned prisoners, a host of journalists arrived at the port to cover the executions, whose date has been set by the Attorney General's Office for Tuesday.
