Death-row Bali bombers forgo presidential pardon
2008-07-21
Okay, boys. Give em the lead...
Nope. They deserve only the finest hemp ...
Bali, 21 July (AKI) - The three Islamist militants convicted of the deadly 2002 Bali bombing have waived their right to seek a presidential pardon, Indonesia's Attorney-General has confirmed. General Hendarman Supanji said he hoped the three men would be executed before the Muslim holy month of Ramadan begins in early September.
Or maybe the next one. Or the one after that...
Supanji said the three - Amrozi bin Nurhasyim, his brother Mukhlas and Imam Samudra - have all waived their right to seek Presidential clemency. "We have offered it in writing to them and to their families and both have refused it," he said.

He said that all legal avenues have been exhausted and their is nothing to stop the men's executions from going ahead. Indonesia does not make public the timing and exact location of executions. Under Indonesian law, executions are by firing squad and can take place at any time once all legal appeals are over. The men are being held in a maximum-security jail on Nusakambangan island off central Java.
When's the mysterious jailbreak?
The men's family members - who live hundreds of miles away in east and west Java - are expected to receive 72 hours notice before the condemned men face a firing squad. Indonesian police say they have prepared a firing squad for the execution.

Indonesia's Supreme Court last week dismissed the final appeal by Amrozi, his brother Mukhlas and Samudra. The three were convicted of planning and carrying out the nightclub bombings which was the worst act of terrorism ever seen in Indonesia. The attacks killed 202 people, most of them foreign tourists, and injured another 209 people.
So long, smiley boy...

#4  With any luck the 72 hour notification will get lost in the Mail or other bureaucratic snafus and be received just about the time ' the shots ring out.'

otherwise expect the mysterious jailbreak to happen sometime after receipt of the same 72 hour notice.
