Bali bombers ask for beheading

THE three Bali bombers on death row have requested that they are beheaded rather than shot, one of their lawyers has said.

Amrozi, Ali Ghufron alias Mukhlas and Imam Samudra narrowly avoided execution last month when their lawyers announced they would file an appeal over their death sentences, meted out for the 2002 attacks which left 202 people dead.

Lawyer Mahendradatta said the appeal, known formally as a demand for a case review, would be submitted to authorities within the next two weeks.

But he told reporters that another demand would be filed to the constitutional court, asking that they review the procedure of execution used for the men if their sentences are fulfilled.

Executions in Indonesia are carried out by firing squad, typically at a secret time and location.

Mahendradatta said his clients believed execution by gunshot was "torture" and they "asked to be executed the Muslim way, by being beheaded".

The lawyer also distributed copies of a handwritten letter from Imam Samudra, denying reported accusations that he has been coordinating terrorist networks from his cell.

Hung, drawn and quartered sounds a better alternative!

[cripplecreek]

Saddam Hussein asked that he not be hung when he's convicted too. Hmmm

[Darkwolf377]

Sure, with the same hatchet used on the morning bacon.

[Thebaddog]

The law is the law. Take the bullet and go.

[operation clinton cleanup]

Shoot them and then lop off the heads. Everyones happy!

[beelzepug]

"...executed the Muslim way, by being beheaded".

Only if the means was a rusty knife, slowly.

[Founding Father]

Shoot them with bullets dipped in pigsblood. Then bury them with pigs.

[jimfree]

Yes, please. Do it with a paring knife - - One-hour time limit, strictly enforced.

[Solamente]

Even better, whittle away the body 'til only the head remains!

[Thumper1960]

Death by potato peeler sounds like justice.

Thinly sliced, please.

[xcamel]

Feet first into a wood chipper - right after the live pig.

Beheaded? Gotcha...

¡¡¡Ayyyyyyyyyyy, piñata!!!

[TOneocon]

Drown them in pigs blood :)

I think that for an occasion like this,rope is always an appropriate method to utilize.

I have a drywall saw blade that is not too rusty.

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

Let's see.

(a) all men know murder is wrong;

(b) In addition the laws of Bali declare murder to be wrong and set forth certain punishment for the violation of the law of murder;

(c) 200 some people were murdered;

(d) These men were charged with the murder;

(e) it was proven that they killed the 200 and the proof was made under previously promulgated Bali procedure;

(f) They were convicted under previously promulgated Bali procedure;

(g) The previously promulgated punishment was attached;

(h) end of case.

[BenLurkin]

Drown them in a barrel of bacon fat.

[Chode]

saw their damn heads off like the GoatHumpers did to Berg...

[true_blue_texican]

I say "hang them with a square knot and let 'em dangle 'til they suffocate!"

[C210N]

a drywall saw blade...

kinda like when you keep using the blade thousands of hours beyond its useful life? such that it takes about 3 hours to saw what used to take 3 seconds?

Perfect!
