A group of victims from the 2004 Beslan school hostage seizure today rejected the death penalty for the man alleged to be the only surviving attacker, despite prosecutors’ and many other victims’ calls for him to be executed.

Indonesian prosecutors today asked for the death sentence for one of the Australian Embassy bombers, saying he was a key planner in the attack that killed 11 people who showed no remorse for his actions.

The first suspect to face charges in the 2004 bombing of the Australian Embassy in Jakarta was sentenced to three and a half years in prison today for assisting the attack’s perpetrators.
