Review - Politics: Bali Trials End
I think Indonesia took the problem seriously when it came home to roost . . .After 11 months, the trials of suspects in the Bali terror attack on October 12, 2002, which killed 202 people and injured hundreds of others, finally came to an end last week. ... Though two suspects, Dulmatin and Malaysian national Azahari are still on the run, the courts have tried no less than thirty suspects for their involvement. Three of these, Ali Ghufron alias Mukhlas, Amrozi bin Nurhasim and Imam Samudra were sentenced to death by firing squad. Those on death row in Indonesia have a much shorter life expectancy than those in the U.S. The rest were jailed for terms ranging from three years to life. Even minor involvement (e.g., hiding a fugitive) was met with prison terms. 11 of those convicted appealed to the Supreme Court after the Bali High Court rejected their appeals.
