Execution Site for Amrozy
The rejection of Amrozy’s appeal by the Supreme Court means that the death sentence handed down by the Denpasar Court remains in effect unless he gets amnesty from the President. If the amnesty is rejected, the death sentence prevails. So, where is the location to execute him? “I think, the best place to execute Amrozy is Bali,” said lawyer Warsa T. Bhuana on Sunday (11/1). Amrozy bin H. Nurhasyim was declared guilty of the Bali bombing in Kuta on October 12, 2002. (BP Jan. 12)
