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.

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.

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...

MUI Says Al-Qiyadah Al-Islamiyah is Misleading

The Indonesian Ulemas Council (MUI) said Al-Qiyadah al-Islamiyah, which first appeared in 2000, is a misleading sect. The decision was taken after MUI researched the organization for the last three months."Up to 2006, this sect wasn't brave enough to appear. But starting in 2007, they bluntly spread their lessons to the public," MUI Chairman, K.H. Ma'ruf, told the press yesterday (4/10). For a sect that is only seven years old, he viewed, its progress is rapid. The structure is in order and the leaders easily attract public sympathy. Al-Qiyadah's leader, Ahmad Moshaddeq, whose real name is Haji Salam, said he was an apostle since July 23, 2007 after ascetic meditation for 40 days and nights in Bunder Mount, Bogor, West Java. "They even changed Islam to existing apostle or prophet after Muhammad, that is Masih Al-Mau'ud," said Ma'ruf.For gaining devotees, according to Ma'ruf, Ahmad promised rewards of a motorcycle for those who can recruit 40 ...

child sex workers in Bandung

A policeman, right, watches over two masseuses and their customers during a raid on suspected prostitution activities at a hotel in Changchun, in northeast China's Jilin province The Bandung authority is at loss to uncover cases of covert prostitution involving junior and senior high school students, whose number continues to rise in the West Java capital. Eli, a sex worker advocacy program mentor from the Rumah Cemara Group in Bandung, said it was hard to provide advocacy to teenagers involved in covert prostitution since most were not receptive. The number of those involved in covert prostitution is believed to be higher compared to commercial sex on the streets, she added. Eli has been providing support to more than 200 housewives and child sex workers over the past two years, around 20 of who are senior high school students between the ages of 15 and 16. "They are psychologically unstable at those ages. They are hard to handle due to their strong motivation to ea...
