Вопрос: Bali confirms it will seek death penalty for drug smugglers

Indonesia's Senate on Monday handed down a final judgment on drug smuggler Jaycees Yousaf. A court on Monday convicted Yousaf of drug smuggling over the previous three years.


President Joko Widodo ordered the death penalty for the 38-year-old for killing six people over two years during the drug trade.

The President has also granted clemency to more than 15 others convicted on drug trafficking charges.

The verdict from the Senate was on the fourth day of deliberations and gave Yousaf a five-year suspended death sentence and will give him a six-year prison term.

Yousaf, the owner of drugs, said he feels like he is being punished "from top to bottom."

"There's no justice in this world but in heaven or hell or both," Yousaf said.

Yousaf said he is currently in a "sad and tormented" state, "but I refuse to surrender."

"If my conscience remains honest I will continue to fight in every way," he added.

Under Indonesian law, death penalty is given only for drug-related crimes. The case against Yousaf is not considered capital crimes.

Gumnut place pressures on pallet production, and as a result, the value of wood is adversely affected, said David O'Donovan, head of research at ForestInfo, the UK's leading environmental data provider.

O'Donovan said demand for wood, which was falling rapidly in developed countries, is also likely to be a contributing factor to the boom in production since, due to its high value, it is often available for a lower cost than steel, which can turn into high-cost raw materials.

This has created a "dumping zone" where the UK's most expensive wood-bearing pallets are being sold, he added.

In 2013, there were 3,500 such pallets being delivered, down from a peak in 2005 of 30,000 and the peak in 2007 of 35,000, according to data from the European Centre for Forests and Climate Research (ECFR).

"Our estimate for 2015's output is around 5,500 tonnes of wood," O'Donovan told the ECHO, adding that much of the output is expected to be sold overseas, where prices have risen sharply since 2012 because of global capital outflows.

According to EFR data, in 2014 alone, 1,054 pallets from 10 European countries were delivered, of which 1,045 were from Poland.

"The main driver behind this is that we are importing from many different countries, and so this has increased the demand in many other countries, particularly on a per tonne basis," said O'Donovan, who added the impact of this on the UK's supply chain had been "severe".

In particular, pallets delivered in South Wales, North Wales, Merseyside and Derbyshire have more than doubled in value, according to EFR data, while the value of wood delivered in the UK increased from 12 cents per kilo in 2011 to 20.1 cents in 2013.

And in 2013 alone, the value of wood exported from Germany to Britain increased by 23% to €21.4 billion, compared to a 4.1% increase in wood exports to the US, according to data from Germany's Landwehr Trade Office (Zentralbau der Gesellschaft fur Energiesprojekt) (ZF.DE).

"The increase in the value of wood on world markets comes down to two factors," said O'Donovan, adding that in Europe the rise in the value of wood had resulted in an increase in the cost of wood export, for example from EU countries such as France, where shipping costs are high and so is the cost of timber.

There has been a rise in the price of wood in Italy, where the value of timber exported was 25%
