A group of eight prisoners, including the Australians Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran, has reportedly been executed for drugs offences in Indonesia.

The executions took place in Besi prison on the island of Nusakambangan early on Wednesday morning local time.

A Filipino woman also due to be executed is said to have been spared at the last minute.

But away from the prison in Indonesia, other executions around the world today have been largely ignored.

Here are some of them.
