Indonesian court to decide on Bali Nine execution appeal on April 6

An Indonesian court hearing the appeals of two Australian death row convicts will announce a verdict on April 6, one of the judges determining the case said on Wednesday.

Myuran Sukumaran and Andrew Chan are among a group of 10 prisoners, mostly foreigners, facing imminent execution for drug offenses after President Joko Widodo rejected their pleas for clemency.

"Both sides have been given ample opportunity to present evidence and testimony," Ujang Abdullah, one of a panel of three judges, told the court. "The judges will decide on the case after studying the evidence submitted.

The court was adjourned until Monday, when the judges would read their verdicts in both cases, he said.

The Australian government has repeatedly asked Indonesia to spare the lives of Sukumaran and Chan. Widodo has refused to budge, ramping up diplomatic tensions between the neighbors.

Lawyers for the two Australians have been trying to convince the court since February that it has the jurisdiction to hear their appeal against the president's rejection of a plea for clemency for the pair.

Judges rejected that argument last month.

"We will respect the judges who are now considering everything before ruling on the case," Leonard Arfan, a lawyer representing the two Australians, told reporters. "We respect the ongoing process and we're just waiting for the decision."

Sukumaran and Chan were arrested in 2005 as the ringleaders in a plot by a group, which came to be known as the Bali Nine, to smuggle heroin out of Indonesia.

At least four other death row inmates have appealed against their sentences.

Indonesia's attorney general has said all 10 prisoners would face the firing squad together but has yet to set a date for their executions.

The group awaiting execution includes citizens of Brazil, France, Ghana, Nigeria, the Philippines and Indonesia.

Vice President Jusuf Kalla told Reuters last month that it could take weeks or even months for the executions to take place.

Indonesia has harsh penalties for drug trafficking and resumed executions in 2013 after a five-year gap.

With the upcoming executions, Indonesia will have exercised the death penalty more times in a single year than ever before.

Guarded community values ​​is that the behavior of the drug as something reprehensible . For Indonesian society since time immemorial considers culture Madon , thieves , play , opium is something contemptible . Moral values ​​derived from the ethical , religious and social morals was then crystallized into a pinnacle of civilization of the Indonesian nation in the form of punishment .

"If seriousness in upholding the values ​​that are not good , it will be lost civilization , " Strong said seriously .

In the conditions of modern Indonesia , the values ​​contained in the Narcotics Act made ​​by the legislature threatening the death penalty for drug kingpins . It is then carried out by the judiciary with the formulation of the decision imposing the death penalty on offenders . Finally , the executive is President Joko Widodo take a firm stance that there is no excuse for first-class drug offenders .

" There is a message to the community , the state called ' Hi community , let alone make a drug that circulate misconduct know , do you do because it is considered a very despicable act and a great crime and is punishable by death ' . The death penalty is also to educate people take drug trafficking civilization was reprehensible in Indonesia , "said Strong .

If anyone says the death penalty form of revenge ?
