Indonesian prosecutors seek life for Bali bombing suspect


Zulkarnaen was arrested last year in Lampung, a province on the southern tip of Sumatra.

Aris Sumarsono, 58, whose real name is Arif Sunarso but is better known as Zulkarnaen, sat impassively as the prosecution announced the sentencing demand before a panel of three judges in East Jakarta District Court in a session that was held remotely due to the coronavirus pandemic.
