INDONESIA: GROUPS DENOUNCE AGO PLAN TO CAP EXECUTION APPEALS

human rights groups criticised Indonesia’s Attorney General’s Office plan to limit the time death row inmates could lodge a final case review to 30 days. Condemned inmates may request a review once the Supreme Court rejects their appeal, but they must present new evidence. “It’s very unlikely inmates could secure new evidence in only 30 days,” said Papang Hidayat of the Commission for Missing Persons and Victims of Violence. “In other words, more and more inmates will be put to death if [the AGO proposal] becomes law.”
