INDONESIA. DEATH ROW MILITANTS FOR BALI BOMBS GET CHANCE FOR PARDON

Amrozi bin Nurhasyim and Imam Samudra on death row for their role in the 2002 Bali bombings would be given one more chance to request a pardon, officials told activists who held a protest to demand immediate executions for the convicts.
The two, who played key roles in the twin nightclub bombings that killed 202 people, said earlier they had no intention of requesting pardons, claiming they'd prefer to be executed.
Public calls to speed up their deaths had mounted since a second series of attacks on Bali on October 1 killed 23 people, including the three suicide bombers. Indonesian law stated the convicts could not be executed until all legal avenues had been exhausted. Some 50 protesters had gathered in front of Bali's local parliament, some stabbing an effigy of Amrozi, then setting it on fire.
The parliament's deputy spokesman I Gusti Ketut Adi Putra told the demonstrators officials would visit the convicts in prison "within one or two weeks" to ask for written statements explaining whether they wanted to seek a clemency. A third militant sentenced to death for the nightclub bombings, Ali Ghufron, had already said he would request a presidential pardon.
