three of the Bali bombers were granted a last minute

three of the Bali bombers were granted a last minute appeal of their death sentences by the Indonesian Supreme Court, thereby staying their execution. Denpasar District Court head Nyoman Gde Wirya said the Supreme Court ordered him to hear the appeals, which claim the convictions of Amrozi, Mukhlas and Imam Samudra were invalid as they were obtained by the retrospective use of an anti-terrorism law. The three were expected to be executed early this month. The decision came as a surprise, as the men had supposedly exhausted all legal avenues and had already argued unsuccessfully that their convictions were invalid as the law was not in place at the time of the bombing.
If the appeal is successful, they will probably be set free on this technicality.
