AMROZI CAN NOW BE EXECUTED: AG
Jakarta, July 18 (ANTARA) - Convicted Bali bomber Amrozi can now be executed as his third appeal for a judicial review of his death sentence has been rejected, Attorney General Hendarman Supandji said.
"In juridical sense, Amrozi's death penalty can now be carried out," the attorney general told the Prosecutor's Office Journalists Forum (Forwaka) here on Friday.
He said he had informally already learned that Amrozi's third appeal request was rejected. But officially, he had not yet received notification on the rejection.
Supandji said the document on the rejection of Amrozi's appeal had been sent to the district court in Denpasar, Bali, but the Denpasar higher prosecutor's office had not yet received it.
"The Denpasar district court has not yet passed on the document to the local higher prosecutor's office," he added.
He said the Denpasar higher prosecutor's office would report to the attorney general's office when it had received the document.
"If the document is already in our hands, then the execution (of Amrozi) can juridically already be carried out," Supandji said.
He said the attorney general's office had once suggested to Amrozi to apply for presidential pardon but the bomber rejected the idea.
Last week, Achmad Michdan, Amrozi's lawyer, said that Amrozi, Imamam Samudra and Mukhlas, who were sentenced to death for their roles in the 2002 Bali bombings, were ready to undergo execution provided it would be done in accordance with Islamic law.
"In principle, it (the planned execution) is no problem, as long as it has strong legal basis," Achmad Michdan, coordinator of the Muslim Lawyers' Team (TPM), said.
He said his clients (the three convicts) were currently waiting for a legal decision of the Supreme Court on the final legal review (appeal) that they had filed.
He emphasized that there should be an optimal legal process for his clients who were sentenced to death for the Bali bombings in 2002.
The Bali terror attacks killed more than 180 people, including Australian tourists, in October 2002.
