Indonesian executions: 72-hour warning given to death row inmates.
(CNN)Nine of ten mostly foreign prisoners on death row in Indonesia have
been given 72 hours notice ahead of their execution, according to a
spokesperson for the Attorney General’s office.
“Seventy-two hours notification means three days, at least, to go to the
execution. It may be longer. In other words, there will be no execution
less than 72 hours after notification,” Tony Spontana told CNN by phone
Sunday.
Though Indonesian officials said all 10 would be executed at the same time,
Spontana said French national Serge Atlaoui had filed a challenge to the
State Administrative Court on Thursday so his sentence has been delayed.
Meanwhile, Edre Olalia, a lawyer acting for Philippines maid Mary Jane
Veloso, told CNN Sunday that Veloso had telephoned her sister on Saturday
at about 5:30 p.m. local time and said her execution will take place on
Tuesday, April 28. Officials at the Philippines Embassy in Jakarta
confirmed the same information.
According to her lawyers, Veloso unknowingly carried drugs into Indonesia,
and that she was set up by members of a drug syndicate.
Execution notice
On Friday, Indonesian officials advised relevant consular officials to
travel to Indonesia’s “execution island” — Nusa Kambangan — where the ten
are being held — a sign that the sentences may be carried out soon. They
will face a firing squad.
The ten on death row, which also include two Australian citizens Andrew
Chan and Myuran Sukumaran — members of the so-called “Bali Nine” smuggling
ring — as well as prisoners from Ghana, Brazil, Nigeria and Indonesia, had
their petitions for clemency denied by President Joko Widodo in late 2014.
A statement Sunday from Foreign Minister Julie Bishop said the Australian
government had been notified that the execution of Chan and Sukumaran would
be carried out “imminently.”
