The Supreme Court has rejected appeals to have their death sentences commuted by all three men convicted over the 2002 Bali bombing.
The court announced Monday it had decided not to overturn the capital punishment handed down by a lower court to Imam Samudra and Ali Gufron, also known as Muklas.
Amrozi, who is also on death row, had his plea for a case review refused on Sept. 10.
""They all have exhausted all the legal avenues for a reprieve,"" said Supreme Court spokesman Nurhadi, as quoted by detik.com.
The three men have been on death row since being captured in the wake of the 2002 bombing of two night clubs in Bali that killed 202 people, most of whom were foreign tourists.
They are being held on the Central Java prison island of Nusa Kambangan, although the Bali Police have requested that the men be executed in Bali.
Bali Police chief Inspector General Paulus Purwoko has said that if the convicts were executed in Bali, it would improve Indonesia's image abroad.
""We are ready to carry out their execution anywhere we are ordered to,"" he said.
No dates have been set for the executions.
