deny clemency to all drug offenders their last appeal was adjourned until march 20 as the president's representative did not have the required legal documentation two weeks earlier, the administrative court dismissed their argument that president widodo failed to consider their rehabilitation the claim was rejected on the grounds that the court had no authority to overturn presidential decree the
