Indonesia will not meet a request by three Islamic militants sentenced to death over the 2002 Bali bombings to be executed by decapitation rather than firing squad. Lawyers of Amrozi, Ali Ghufron alias Mukhlas and Imam Samudra had said the previous week that if the executions were to proceed, the trio wished to be beheaded.
"We have to follow our law, and our law does not recognise decapitation," national police spokesman Paulus Purwoko said.
Lawyer Mahendradatta said his clients believed execution by gunshot was "torture" and they "asked to be executed the Muslim way, by being beheaded."
