Jakarta, Indonesia (CNN) - Four convicted drug offenders were executed early Friday, a spokesman for Indonesia's attorney general said.

Muhammad Rum told reporters outside the Nusakambangan prison that authorities have not decided when 10 other prisoners will be executed by firing squad.

Executed were two Nigerians, one Senegalese and one Indonesian. Petitions to review their cases had been denied.

One of the Nigerians was Humphrey Jefferson Ejike, who was unjustly killed, according to his legal team.

2. Barbaric, agreed

The death penalty, that is. Firing squad, electrocution, hanging, chemicals, etc. - different delivery, same result.

We, as a country, cannot point any fingers as long as we promote the same barbarism here.

It is a shame we have the same laws as Indonesia
