Islamic militant Amrozi, on death row for his role in the Bali bombings, may appeal to Indonesia's constitutional court to have his execution order overturned, his lawyer Adnan Wirawan said. Wirawan said Amrozi could appeal his death sentence depending on the outcome of a test case currently before Indonesia's constitutional court. That case, challenging tough anti-terrorism laws introduced after the Bali bombings, was launched by another of Adnan's clients, Masykur Abdul Kadir, who was jailed for 15 years in 2003 for helping the bombers by providing transport and accommodation. Masykur, the only Bali native involved in the attacks challenged the sentence, arguing retrospective anti-terrorism laws were illegitimate.
