But the Constitutional Courts ruling neither squashed the convictions nor death sentences handed down to the three men, or dozens of other militants who were convicted of playing roles in the attacks under the anti-terrorism law.

"There was no new evidence to back up their claims for a judicial review. Such evidence (Constitutional Court's ruling) does not negate the Bali verdicts," said Judge Djoko Sarwoko, was quoted as saying.

With the rejection of their final appeals the three will now face execution by firing squad.

None of the bombers showed remorse over the attacks against Western tourists on Bali in October 2002, killing more than 150 foreigners, including 88 Australians.
