INDONESIA. CHRISTIAN PARTY WANTS POSO EXECUTIONS STAYED

the Prosperous Peace Party (PDS) called on the Indonesian government to delay the execution of three Catholics in Palu, Central Sulawesi, convicted of mass murder in a sectarian conflict.
The Christian-based political party said that the execution by firing squad of Fabianus Tibo, 68, Marianus Riwu, 48, and Dominggus da Silva, 38, would only bring renewed violence in the volatile region, on a larger scale.
It said the only way to prevent a conflict is to find what it called the real perpetrators.
"Instead of expediting the execution, the government should reopen the cases that implicated the three people, as the legal proceedings have been marred by irregularities," lawmaker Ratna Situmorang of the PDS faction told a press conference.
