1. (SBU) The executions of the so-called "Poso 3"-Fabianus
Tibo, Dominggus da Silva and Martinus Riwu-in Central
Sulawesi following their 2001 convictions for mass murder,
torture and arson, have been scheduled to take place on
August 12. The three were found guilty of a series of brutal
murders between May 23 and June 30, 2000 in Poso, Central
Sulawesi (ref C). They have exhausted all avenues of appeal,
including clemency from the President, and their guilt
appears to be well established (ref A). The three convicts
and Tibo's family were notified of the impending execution by
the Central Sulawesi Prosecutor's Office on August 9. There
is speculation that the timing of the executions may be
linked to the Attorney General's recent announcement of a
date for the execution of the 2002 Bali Bombers (ref B).
