Catholic Brazilian man executed by firing squad in Indonesia

A Brazilian man who was executed by firing squad in Indonesia last month was dragged screaming and crying from his cell and refused access to a priest for his last rites, it has been claimed.

In the latest damaging revelation for diplomacy between the two countries, the man who was supposed to provide comfort to Marco Archer Cardoso Moreira was barred from doing so at the last minute.
Instead, the convicted drug offender was left weeping right “up to his last minutes”, according to a horrific account of the incident given by Father Charles Burrows to Australia’s Fairfax Media.
Moreira was killed by a firing squad on 18 January on the island of Nusakambangan, and as a Catholic was expected to be allowed a priest to administer the sacrament of reconciliation and penance and offer consolation.
But Father Burrows was not allowed on to the island following an apparent administrative mix-up, and said the Brazilian embassy was “very upset” at what happened.
“Nobody consoled Marco,” he said. “He had to be dragged from his cell crying and saying 'help me'.
Father Burrows said Moreira had to be hosed down by guards after he “actually excremented in his trousers”.             abd71
