"I am ready for death, but not using the evil law (of the Indonesian government)," Ali Ghufron was quoted by DPA as saying during a visit of around 50 members of his family and friends at Batu prison on the Indonesian island of Nusakambangan.
"They should behead me because that is God's law, and God willing, I will die as a martyr," he said.
"Facing a firing squad for execution is against humanity, and as Muslims we encourage the government to consider applying beheading because it's fast and painless," Achmad Michdan, a lawyer of the three militants, elaborated.
Ali Ghufron, Imam Samudra and Amrozi, alleged members of Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) - a regional terrorist network responsible for several bombings across Indonesia in recent years, were sentenced to death by Bali's Denpasar District Court in 2003 for bombing two nightclubs on the resort island of Bali in 2002, killing 202 people, mostly foreign tourists.
