A One Time Chance

THE hearing to request a review of the death sentences on Agus Hadi and Pujo Lestari was brief, lasting less than an hour. It proceeded in absentia, alias without the accused men being present. "I couldn't have the prisoners attend unless proper security was provided," Charles Lubis, Agus' and Pujo's attorney, told Tempo at the Batam District Court of the Riau Islands last Thursday.

Agus Hadi, alias Oki, and Pujo Lestari bin Kateno were sentenced to death by the Batam District Court on May 23, 2007. Both were found guilty of possessing 12,209 Toyota brand ecstasy pills, another 800 pills of the Love brand, and 12,490 happy five Erinim brand psychotropic drugs.
