Fabianus Tibo, Dominggus da Silva and Marinus Riwu were executed by firing squad on 22 September at 1.45am local time. The location of the execution was not officially revealed by the authorities, although a police official said the three men were executed at a location near Palu airport, Central Sulawesi. They were sentenced to death in April 2001 for premeditated murder and inciting riots, following ethnic and religious violence in the district of Poso, Central Sulawesi, in May 2000.
