PALU, Indonesia (W.) Sept. 22, 2006 -- Three Indonesian Christians were executed by firing squad yesterday this morning, according to the human rights group International Christian Concern.
“Justice has once again been denied Indonesia’s Christians,” said Jeremy Sewall, International Christian's policy analyst. “I am deeply saddened at this news, and ask all concerned Christians to pray for the families of these men. This is a tragedy. This is not justice.”
After the three Christians' execution was stayed last month by the Attorney General for Central Sulawesi, Mohammad Yahya Sibe, he was suddenly replaced. The chief of Police was also suddenly replaced and sent to another department, ICC said, which added that the appeal for these men that should have lasted months or even a year to process was denied within weeks.
