Jakarta (AFP) - An Indonesian court on Thursday postponed the start of an appeal by a Frenchman on death row to next week, indicating the country's slow-moving justice system could delay his execution for some time yet.

Serge Atlaoui, 51, had been due to face the firing squad with seven other foreign drug convicts last week but was removed from the list after authorities agreed to let an outstanding legal appeal run its course.
