According to Abdul, the executing prosecutor at the West Manggarai District Prosecutor's Office and the NTT Prosecutor's Office carried out the execution of the Supreme Court's decision.
However, according to Abdul Hakim, at the time of execution, the defendant objected and refused to be executed based on a court decision that has permanent legal force on the grounds that he had to read a copy of the Supreme Court's decision.
