Indonesia Upholds Cleric Verdict
Indonesia’s Supreme Court has rejected a final appeal from the radical cleric linked to the Bali bombings, upholding his original 30-month sentence.
Abu Bakar Ba’asyir was found guilty in March of conspiracy over the 2002 attacks, in which 202 people died.
But he was cleared of more serious anti-terrorism charges relating to an attack on Jakarta’s Marriott hotel.
A spokesman for the court said Ba’asyir’s appeal had been rejected during a session on Wednesday.
A lawyer for Ba’asyir told Agence France Presse that he had received a “verbal confirmation” of the ruling, though no formal letter had yet arrived.
