I think another part of the objection to the death penalty is also that the majority of the victims were Australian, and we of course do not have the death penalty here in any case. I think many many Australians are morally opposed to it.

The problem is, these men were linked to a later bombing in Bali at Kuta, so they were obviously dangerous either way if in fact that was the case.

I don't think they're martyrs though in any case. The people who were killed were innocent in my eyes.

I was in Bali a couple of years after the bombing, and the general public there seemed to be very much against Amrosi and co. They hated what they did to their country's reputation as a safe and relaxing tourist destination. I don't think there's that many Balinese people who see them as martyrs either. Perhaps more people in greater Indonesia do, but even Amrosi's family said that what they did was wrong...so I'm not so sure about the whole martyr thing to be honest. I think there's a greater percentage who just think they got what they had coming to them.
