Jakarta (Antara) - The attorney general reaffirmed here Friday that a plan to execute drug convicts on death row has not been put on hold, although no exact date has been set for its implementation. "I have said that judicially it was close to the final stage, but new developments have emerged after several of the death convicts directly or through lawyers filed for appeals," Attorney General HM Prasetyo noted. Five convicts have filed suits for a judicial review. They include Martin Anderson from Ghana, Mary Jane from the Philippines, and Serge Areski Atlaoui from France. Two Australian death convicts Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran are also appealing against the Presidential Decrees that rejected their clemency pleas. Prasetyo remarked he should respect the ongoing legal processes, although they were already close to the final stage in terms of technical aspects. "We have to be patient and wait for certain non-judicial processes," he added. (*)
