Three militants convicted of the 2002 Bali bombing have officially ruled out a request for a presidential pardon that becomes their final chance to avoid the capital punishment, prosecutors said Monday.
The trio -- Imam Samudera, Amrozi and his older brother Ali Ghufron -- were sentenced to death for key roles in the nightclub bombings that killed 202 people, mostly foreigners.
A team from the Bali Court of Appeal has planned to visit Central Java, where the bombers are being held at a tightly guarded prison island, to seek clarification about the next legal move they intend to take.
"Then the unexpected news came, that Amrozi and his gang have sent a letter confirming they are not requesting a pardon," Bali provincial prosecutors' office head Putu Alit Atyana was quoted by leading news website Detikcom as saying.
"We must report to the Attorney General's Office, which also has asked us to bring the letter to Jakarta," he said.
