Indonesia put off the executions of three men sentenced to death for the 2002 Bali blasts, the attorney-general's office said, citing a judicial review planned by defence lawyers. Lawyers had argued a plan to execute Muslim militants Imam Samudra, Amrozi and Ali Gufron alias Mukhlas was premature because their legal avenues had not been exhausted although courts at various levels had dismissed their appeals.
"That was only a plan. It certainly has been postponed. One of the reasons is that the lawyers will request a judicial review," said I Wayan Pasek Suartha, spokesman of the attorney-general's office.
