More bomb suspects to face trial
DENPASAR, Bali: The Denpasar District Court began its preparations on Tuesday for
the trial of the remaining four suspects in the Bali bombings after receiving their case
files from the provincial prosecutor's office.
District Court President I Nengah Sarwa said the schedules for the trials of Suranto
Abdul Ghoni alias Umar alias Wayan, Sarjio alias Syawad, Achmad Roichan alias
Saad, and Hafidin alias Heri would be arranged as soon as possible.
The court has appointed 16 senior judges to hear the cases, Sarwa said.
Abdul Ghoni and Sarjio are charged with conspiracy to commit terrorist acts, which
carries the death sentence, while Roichan and Hafidin are charged with harboring
and/or providing succor to wanted terrorist suspects, which is punishable by a
maximum of 20 years in prison.
The court completed the first batch of trials involving 29 defendants on Monday, with
three of them receiving the death penalty and the rest receiving prison terms ranging
from three years to life. -- JP
