Capital punishment under indonesias legal system has been questioned by human rights
watchdogs who assert it violates the constitutions and international conventions on human
rights.
I think the case of the three convicts was political because the authorities didi not
investigate people the convicts said were the masterminds of the deadly attack. I believe the
three men were only scapegoats.
The goverment should be really careful in handing down such a sentence. The judges
have to really sure that the convicts deserve the death penalty because, otherwise, it would
only spark public protests.
I believe that the trail must be free, not only of political interests, but also economic and
religious issues.
I support capital punishment for criminals involved in bomb attacks or genocide.
We must make sure that the execution itself does not cause them uncle suffering. We
should remember that death itself horrifies most people.
I think government must guarantee that the death penalty is free of political interests, so
it does not result in public protests, as happened in resent case.
