Court rejects appeal by Australian drug smugglers

By Agence France-Presse in Jakarta | China Daily | Updated: 2015-04-07 07:28

An Indonesian court dismissed on Monday the latest appeal by two Australian drug smugglers facing imminent execution, taking them a step closer to the firing squad.

The State Administrative Court in Jakarta said it did not have the authority to hear the challenge to President Joko Widodo's decision to reject their mercy pleas, upholding its own ruling handed down in February.

Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran, the ringleaders of the so-called "Bali Nine" drug trafficking gang, were sentenced to death in 2006 for trying to smuggle heroin out of Indonesia.

Widodo recently rejected their pleas for presidential clemency, typically the final chance to avoid execution. They are expected to be executed soon with other drug convicts, including foreigners from France, Brazil, the Philippines, Nigeria and Ghana.

Jakarta has said it will wait for all legal appeals to be resolved before putting the group to death at the same time. Other convicts have lodged Supreme Court appeals, which could take weeks to resolve.

The men's legal team have mounted several attempts to halt the executions. In their latest, they called for the State Administrative Court to hear an appeal against Widodo's clemency rejection, saying that he failed to properly assess their rehabilitation or give reasons for his decision.

The court refused to accept the application in February, and the Australians' lawyers appealed that decision.

But at a hearing on Monday, presiding judge Ujang Abdullah upheld the original decision that the court does not have jurisdiction to rule on the matter.

Ruling on Chan's case, he told the court, "The appeal by the challenger is rejected."

It was not immediately clear whether the Australians' lawyers would pursue other legal avenues.

Jakarta originally planned to carry out the executions in February, but following an international outcry agreed to let legal appeals run their course.

A Filipina among the group recently lost an appeal to the Supreme Court, while a Frenchman and Ghanaian last week lodged appeals with the court.
