REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA -- The Attorney General's Office (AGO) is tightlipped about plans to carry out the third wave of executions of death-row inmates though many were now being moved to the Nusakambangan penitentiary in Cilacap, Central Java.

"Please wait, we will inform (you) if a date has been decided. We will surely share that information," Junior Attorney General for public crime affairs, Noor Rochmad, said here on Monday.

He states that his office will also make public the number of death-row inmates who will be executed. "So, just wait for it. Reports circulating so far (regarding the executions) are not definitive news."

Asked about the statement of Attorney General HM Prasetyo who had said recently that the executions will be carried out after the post-fasting Ied Fitr or Lebaran festivities, Rochmad merely sought to know what the attorney general had said.
