A court session on a judicial review of the death sentence to three Bali bombers would be held in Denpasar, Bali, on Monday, a lawyer has said.
Amrozi bin Nurhasyim, Ali Ghufron and Imam Samudera have been convicted with involvement in the Bali bombings in 2004 that killed over 200 people, most of them Australian holiday makers.
"The session is scheduled to take place at the Denpasar district court on Monday and the convicts must be present on the occasion," a member of the Muslim Lawyers Team Fahmi H Bachmid was quoted by the Antara news agency as saying on Saturday.
According to the lawyer, the presence of the three convicts in the court session is a must as it is stipulated in the Criminal Code and in accordance with the Supreme Court's directives.
"If they are not brought to court, we will take a stand. The alternative is that the court session needs to be moved to the Cilacap district court in Central Java to enable them to attend the session," he said.
The lawyer said his team had had evidence and witnesses to be brought to the court session.
On January 4, 2008, the families of Amrozi and Ali Ghufron in Tenggulun village, Solokuro subdistrict, Lamongan district, East Java province, refused to accept the copies of the Supreme Court's note of rejection to the judicial review of their death penalty.
The three bombers are now still incarcerated at the Nusakambangan penitentiary, Cilacap district, Central Java province.
When proposing for a judicial review, the Muslim Lawyers Team also proposed that the court session be moved from Denpasar to Cilacap, because holding it in Denpasar may cause psychological pressure on the judges.
