Jakarta, Sep 27 The Medan District Court in Indonesia sentenced a drug dealer, identified as FRL, to death for possessing 28 kg of crystal methamphetamine and 14,431 ecstasy pills.

Chief Judge Lenny Megawaty Napitupulu stated that the death sentence was in line with the prosecutor's demands and following the Narcotics Law, Xinhua news agency reported.
