Amrozi Asks for Judical Review Again


Three prisoners on death row for the Bali bombing asked for a judicial review (PK) again. This time, the judicial review is being submitted to head of the Batu penitentiary, Nusakambangan, Central Java."Amrozi, Imam Samudra, and Muklas have signed the PK documents and given them to the staff of penitentiary, " said Achmad Michdan, attorney for the prisoners.


"This is to optimize the judicial effort for Amrozi and his friends."Michdan explained the review submission through the head of the penitentiary is possible as the head is like "a father" for the prisoners asking for a judicial review for "his children". To date, it is the third judicial review submitted by these prisoners. On August 2007, the Supreme Court (MA) refused their judicial review. They submitted another proposal for a review in early 2008, but the Amrozi side canceled both.Michdan said MA did not examine the judicial review thoroughly.


The first review was rejected without examination. "There was no report on that review," he said.The head of the Batu penitentiary Sudiyanto acknowledged the attorney team for Amrozi "It is their right to submit a judicial review," he said. However, Sudiyanto has not received it.

Greenpeace boycott Palm oil products Duta Palma

Environmental organization Greenpeace India has demanded that all Indian palm oil importers and corporate consumers immediately stop palm oil sourcing from Indonesian companies like Duta Palma who make palm oil by destroying forests and tiger habitat in Indonesia. An investigative report issued by Greenpeace Indonesia released on Thursday links India's growing palm oil imports and corporate apathy to Duta Palma's destruction of hundreds of acres of Indonesian rainforests and tiger habitat in complete disregard of Indonesian government&# 39;s moratorium on such activities in the rainforest. Big Indian corporates like Ruchi Soya, Adani -Wilmar, Godrej Industries, Parle, Britannia are among many who use Indonesian palm oil in their products on a large scale.  "Duta Palma's dirty oil could well be entering into their supply chains. Yet, so far, no Indian company has taken any visible steps to clean up their supply chain, to delink their brands from the ...

The complicated policies to overcome congestion in Jakarta

A young woman, carrying her infant son in a sling around her neck, stands in the shadows of a decaying concrete pylon, her hand extended in the hope that a passing motorist will pick her up. Maya Sari, 23, and one-year-old Muhammad are ''jockeys''. Jakarta motorists pay to carry them in peak hour traffic, because to legally travel on the city's best roads, cars need three occupants. Babies count, and they cost less to hire than an adult, so on feeder roads all over the city, women and their young children stand touting for business. One ride with them costs the driver about 20,000 rupiah, or $2.15. As Jakarta's population grows in wealth, 565 more cars and 3006 more motorbikes clog its roads every day. According to one official report, this city with a daytime population of 11 million is just nine years away from being gridlocked. When it rains and the roads flood, many areas are there already. It's the most immediately obvious of Indonesia's profound ...

If Soeharto became National Hero

Three short years after his death, Indonesia's dictator Suharto has been   nominated to a shortlist to be designated a "National Hero." The final decision   rests with President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono. and any honors will likely be   announced on November 10, Heroes’ Day. President Obama is scheduled to visit  Indonesia around that date.  After Suharto died in January 2008, Indonesia's former dictator General Suharto   has died in bed and not in jail, escaping justice for his numerous crimes in   East Timor and throughout the Indonesian archipelago. One of the worst mass   murderers of the 20th century, his death tolls still shock... We cannot forget that the United States government consistently supported   Suharto and his regime. As the corpses piled up after his coup and darkness   descended on Indonesia, his cheerleaders in the U.S. welcomed the "gleam of   light in Asia." In the pursuit of realpolitik, U.S. administration a...
