In Indonesia on Thursday–despite grave doubts raised over the fairness of the trial.

Catholic World News sums up:

The lawyers for three Catholics on Indonesia’s death row will take their case before the International Criminal Court in Geneva, the AsiaNews service reports.

Fabianus Tibo, Dominggus da Silva and Marinus Riwa were condemned to death because they were found guilty of masterminding a massacre of 200 Muslims in Poso during inter-faith clashes in 2000. Their case has drawn international attention, with both Christian leaders and human-rights activists protesting that the court convicted them under heavy pressure from Islamic militants.

Originally the three men were scheduled to die on August 12. Their execution was postponed, but rumors now circulating in Indonesia suggest that it could be rescheduled soon.

BBC coverage here:

Lawyers for the three men said provincial prosecutors delivered a letter saying the executions would take place on Thursday 21 September, though one report said it could take place on Friday.

Attorney General Abdul Rachman Saleh told reporters the letter, delivered late on Monday, said the men would be shot in 72 hours time.

Question the timing.
