THREE BALI I BOMBERS TO BE EXECUTED EARLY NOVEMBER
Jakarta, Oct 24 (ANTARA) - Convicted Bali I bombers Amrozi et al will be executed early next November, an Attorney General's Office (AGO) spokesman said here Friday.
AGO spokesman Jasam Pandjaiian said death-row convicts Amrozi, Mukhlas and Imam Samudra had pursued the last existing legal avenue unsucccessfully and the result of the process was now legally binding.
"The three did not apply for pardon so the execution can be carried out soon," he said, adding "Their execution will be carried out early November."
In the meantime, House of Representatives (DPR) Speaker Agung Laksono had asked the Attorney General not to postpone the execution.
"I regret the postponement (of the execution) without clear ground. Just execute (them)," Laksono said at the parliament Building here on Friday.
Laksono said if there was no more legal attempts to be conducted by the convicts, they should be executed. It as not necessary to postpone the execution any longer, he said.
The Constitutional Court (MK) recently turned down Amrozi et al's request to conduct a judicial review on Law No.2/PNPS/1964 on Procedures to Implement the Death Penalty.
Amrozi and his two associates who were sentenced to death for their involvement in the Bali I bombings had filed for a judicial review of the law because they believed execution by a firing squad as mandated by Law No. 2/PNPS/1964 was against their constitutional right not to be tortured.
