THE three Bali bombers on death row will appeal their convictions in an attempt to avoid an Indonesian firing squad, angering the families of Australian victims. Their appeal will be based on the fact that the anti-terrorism legislation used to convict them of the October 2002 bombings that killed 202 people was enacted after the attacks, lawyer Wirawan Adnan told The Australian yesterday. Imam Samudra, 36, Amrozi bin Nurhasyim, 43, and Ali Ghufron, alias Mukhlas, 46, have already said they do not want a presidential pardon for their crimes. But Mr Adnan said the planned application for a judicial review had "no connection" with their guilt or otherwise. "Even criminals deserve justice. So they must be tried under the criminal code, not under the anti-terrorism legislation," Mr Adnan said. "We have already received the power of attorney from our clients to lodge the review. They themselves (the bombers) have requested this. If the review is accepted, there will be a new verdict in a new case."
