INDONESIA: BALI 9 APPEALS MAY BE CURTAILED

Indonesia's Supreme Court prepared a new edict giving prosecutors the right to speed the execution of death row inmates. Supreme Court judge Joko Sarwoko said he drafted the new edict. "The prosecution must inform the death row inmates that their remaining legal avenue must be exercised. If, after the proper time limit, the person does not exercise his
rights, the prosecutors are entitled to execute the person." Judge Sarwoko said he believed the appropriate time period was "one or two months".
