The families of British Bali bombing victims will ask for Amrozi bin Nurhasyim's death sentence to be commuted to life imprisonment amid fears execution will turn him into a martyr. Amrozi, 41, was the first of about 30 suspects to be tried over the terrorist attacks which killed 202 people on 12 October 2002. He was found guilty and sentenced to death by firing squad. The families of the 26 British victims reacted with horror, saying they were devastated by the sentence. "We're extremely upset that he's been condemned to death," Susi Miller, whose brother died in the blasts, told Sky News. "It will simply make him a martyr, and that doesn't bring justice for all those who were killed by the bomb? At the moment he shows no remorse. He may show remorse after 10, 20, 30 years in an Indonesian jail." The UK Bali Bombing Victims' Group, of which Miller is the spokeswoman, will ask the British ambassador in Jakarta to appeal for the sentence to be commuted to life. Alex Braden, who lost his son Daniel in the attacks, said authorities were nowhere near breaking the terror ring responsible for the bombings. "There's a long way to go, and by sentencing Amrozi to death you create a martyr and more recruits," he told the Press Association.
