JAKARTA - Indonesia is preparing to execute three men convicted in the 2002 Bali bombings that killed 202 people, as their lawyers plan to lodge appeals next month. Imam Samudra, Amrozi and Ali Gufron have been on death row for more than two years since being convicted of playing key roles in Indonesia's worst terrorist attack.
"The execution plan is in process, but the timeframe is a secret according to the law," I Wayan Pasek Suartha, spokesman at Indonesia's attorney general's office, said in a phone interview Wednesday. The men were moved to Nusakambangan in central Java from Bali late last year after a second attack in October 2005 sparked anger in the resort island. The second attack killed 20 people and the three suicide bombers.
"It has been permitted that the execution will take place in Nusakambangan," Suartha said. Execution is usually carried out by firing squad. Under Indonesian law, death row convicts are executed in the place where they have been sentenced. Wirawan Adnan, a lawyer representing the convicted men, said they plan to lodge a judicial review to the Supreme Court early next month. The appeals may delay th e execution.
"We will stick to the execution plan of the three convicts if they failed to lodge the appeal," Suartha said. Authorities have blamed the al-Qaeda-linked group Jemaah Islamiyah for a series of attacks in Indonesia, Southeast Asia's largest economy.
