Yuspahruddin said the convicts were Ahmad Taufik, Iswahyudi, Agus Widarto, Priyo Hutomo and Topan Amir.

Ahmad was to be placed in Kembang Kuning prison, Iswahyudi in Besi prison, Agus in Pasir Putih prison, Priyo in Batu prison and Topan in Permisan prison.
The convicts will add to the number of terrorism-related prisoners on Nusakambangan, including cleric Abu Bakar Ba'asyir.
