Lawyers for the three convicted Bali bombers have lodged a constitutional challenge against the way the death penalty is carried out in Indonesia. Amrozi, Ali Ghufron or Mukhlas and Imam Samudra have been sentenced to death by firing squad, but their lawyers are arguing that shooting amounts to torture because the men may not die immediately.
