On 5 January 2015, the Junior Attorney General for General Crimes, AK
Basyuni, announced that his office will proceed with the execution of
six death row prisoners before the end of the month, instead of five as
earlier stated. The Attorney General’s office had earlier postponed the
executions scheduled for December 2014 because at least three death row
prisoners had submitted new petitions for a case review to the Supreme
Court, as provided for by a 2014 Constitutional Court decision. The Attorney General’s office has now publicly named the six individuals facing execution as Gunawan Santoso, Tan Joni, Agus Hadi, Pujo Lestari, Denis Namaona and Marco Archer Cardoso Moreira.
