TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Head of Information and Law of the Attorney General’s Office Tony Spontana said the number of death-row convicts for the second execution wave will possibly be reduced from its scheduled plan of 10 people.
“There’s a huge possibility that we will execute nine people instead of ten,” Tony told Tempo on Saturday, April 25.
Tony said the number of executed convicts was reduced, as French death-row convict Serge Atlaoui filed his last legal action of lawsuit resistance to the State Administrative Court.
“The process of legal action can take up to two weeks, so it would be difficult to execute the whole ten people,” Tony said. The execution can no longer be delayed for its technical preparation have been completed.
Tony thinks that Serge’s legal action is an attempt to stall time or delaying execution.
Technically, the execution will take place in the next three days, as the regulation of 3x24 hour applies after a notification is handed out to the convicts.
“The quickest will be in the next three days. If somehow a rainstorm occurs during the execution day, it will be done the following day instead of the day before,” said Tony.
