Government Not Prioritizing Executions of Imam Samudra and
Tibo
TEMPO Interactive, Jakarta: The government is not prioritizing the executions of Imam
Samudra, one the first Bali Bombing perpetrators, and Tibo Cs, one those convicted of
the Poso Rioting.
The government is still awaiting the legal related to those convicted in both these
cases.
"The government is not concentrating on these cases," said Attorney General Abdul
Rahman Saleh Thursday (7/9) at the Presidential Palace in Jakarta.
The Attorney General's Office (AGO) has already prepared for the executions in these
two cases.
The Attorney General is waiting for Imam Samudra's lawyer to propose a review.
Arman has said that the Constitution has not stipulated any deadline as regards
review submission and execution time.
However, if a review is not submitted, Imam Samudera will be executed.
Meanwhile, State Secretary Yusril Ihza Mahendra has acknowledged receiving a
second clemency plea from Fabianus Tibo Cs.
For the time being, the clemency plea has been delivered to the Justice and Human
Rights Minister who will examine with this case.
Previously, Chairman of the House of Representatives Agung Laksono asked that the
government execute Fabianus Tibo as soon as possible.
He argued that any delay in the execution was similar to playing with the law.
The delayed execution of Tibo has resulted in Brigadier General Oegroseno, Head of
the Central Sulawesi Police, being relieved of his post. Badriah
