Bali Bombers Death Imminent...

A kind friend has asked me to post the following:

Dear Xt3 member,

In just days, a firing squad will be the fate of the men responsible for the death of more than 200 people in Bali, Indonesia in 2002.

Xt3 has just launched an online member poll and forum to discuss this significant moment.

One of the Bali Bombers has said “I will never regret it, forever”

Some 28 British citizens were killed but does that make it ok to take revenge? Or is execution true justice?

Have your say in our anonymous poll and make your opinion known in our online discussion forum…

Best Regards,

Xt3 Admin

Painful deaths await Bali bombers (from: news.com.au)

FOR seven minutes there was silence on the Indonesian island except the sounds of two men dying and a priest singing Amazing Grace.

A host of officials plus the two firing squads which had shot the men stood stunned and uneasy, listening to the life ebbing from the doomed men. Most could barely give voice to their words or thoughts - except Father Charlie Burrows - who wanted both to die a Christian death and kept singing until the men made no sound at all. The Irish-born Catholic priest, who has lived and worked in Indonesia for 35 years, was present at the execution of two Nigerian drug traffickers on Nusa Kambangan Island off Central Java.

Nigerian nationals Samuel Iwuchukwu Okoye and Hansen Antonious Nwaolisa were convicted and sentenced to death for smuggling more than 3kg each of heroin. Father Burrows describes how they were taken from their cells around 11.30pm on June 26 this year and, their hands and feet shackled, driven in separate trucks to the execution site - a cleared area in the forest where two makeshift crosses had been constructed and were secured in boxes with rocks.
