Relatives' anger as Bali bomb sentences cut
Relatives of victims of the Bali bombings today reacted angrily to news that the Indonesian government has cut a 30-month sentence given to Abu Bakar Ba'asyir for his role in the attacks.
The Islamist cleric will have his sentence reduced by four and a half months, Dedi Sutardi, the chief warden at Cipinang prison in Jakarta, where the cleric is being held.
The reduction means Ba'asyir could be released by the middle of next year. Indonesia has a tradition of cutting sentences to mark the country's Independence Day, which takes place today.
