The two Thai nationals sentenced to death for drug trafficking in Medan, North Sumatra, presented their last requests, as they were due to be executed, their lawyers said. Lawyers said that Saelow Praseart, 62, and Namsong Sirilak, 32, each delivered three requests, to be met at the time of and following their executions.
Adi Mansar, a lawyer from the Medan Legal Aid Institute (LBH), said Praseart, who once suffered a broken leg, wanted the legal team to attend his execution and ensure that his body remained whole and intact. Praseart's second request was that the government not carry out any more executions after his, and his third request was that all his clothes be given to fellow inmates.
Adi said Sirilak asked that the two pairs of shirts she wore every day on death row be given to her parents in Thailand and that her two necklaces and diary be given to her child.
She also asked that her body be sent to her foster father in Medan, Herliyanto Harahap, for cremation, and that her ashes be sent to her family in Thailand.
Adi promised that LBH Medan would fulfill the clients' requests except to attend the actual execution, to show the lawyers' opposition.
"We are ready to meet all of their requests in order to calm them prior to their execution," he said.
He said the lawyers would be on standby at the Pirngadi and Adam Malik hospitals, where the bodies of the two Thai nationals would be taken for an autopsy.
