No word yet on Ayodhya's execution

MEDAN, North Sumatra: As of Sunday, no notification has yet been issued by the Attorney General's Office on when the death sentence against drug convict Ayodhya Prasadh Chaubey will be carried out, although the Indian national is to be executed by the end of this month, his lawyer said.

The lawyer, Hadiningtyas, said he had not received any letters from the office on the execution date. By law, a death row convict's sentence must be carried out within the month after they had exhausted their appeal.

Ayodhya's appeal was rejected by the Supreme Court on June 24. -- Antara
