| Indonesian who sheltered Bali bomber sentenced to seven years |
| 2003-10-06 |
| An Indonesian judge on Monday found a Muslim teacher guilty of giving convicted Bali bomber Ali Imron somewhere to hide after the attacks a year ago, and sentenced him to seven years in prison. Chief judge I Wayan Sugawa said Muhammad Yunus, a teacher at the Istiqomah Muslim boarding school in Samarinda in East Kalimantan province, had provided Imron with a hut on a small island to hide after the October blasts which killed 202 people. Prosecutors had recommended a 10-year jail sentence. Yunus’ lawyer, Andres Manalo Sulaiman, told AFP he would appeal. Yunus is the 13th accomplice of key Bali suspects to be sentenced so far. Fourteen others are still awaiting verdicts. So far, so good. |
