Reduced sentences for Bali bombing accomplices
'Moderate' Indonesia Update
JAKARTA, Indonesia - Nine people convicted for the 2002 Bali nightclub bombings that killed 202 people had their sentences cut by four months on Thursday to mark Indonesia’s independence day.
The nine prisoners are serving sentences between five and 16 years and were convicted on charges such as robbery to help fund the attack and giving refuge to key figures.
Well, gosh, those infidels in Australia are going to be mighty unhappy, granting leniency to the crew that helped to murder so many of their fellow citizens.
A spokesman for Australian Foreign Minister Alexander Downer said many Australians would be upset about the remissions.
“It is difficult for most Australians to comprehend that such prisoners have received reduced sentences. This is particularly painful for victims and their families. But granting remissions is a long-standing practice in Indonesia, and is in accordance with Indonesia’s legal system.”
Australia protested against the release in June of Abu Bakar Bashir, a Muslim cleric who served 26 months of a 30-month sentence for conspiracy in the 2002 Bali blasts. The radical cleric’s sentence had been cut for last year’s independence day.
Funny how that 'legal system' of a Muslim state shows an awful lot of leniency to other Muslims.
