Fabianus Tibo was an Indonesian Catholic militant executed by firing squad on September 22, 2006 at 1:20 a.m. local time together with Dominggus da Silva and Marinus Riwu for leading of anti-Muslim riots in Poso, Indonesia in 2000 that led to the murders of about 200 people, mainly Muslims.
Some human rights activists have claimed that Tibo, and the other men, were innocent, alleging that the trial had not uncovered relevant aspects of the massacres[citation needed]. Many religious leaders of Christianity and some of Islam[citation needed], including Pope Benedict XVI and Abdurrahman Wahid[citation needed], former president of Indonesia and former leader of Nahdlatul Ulama, protested the execution of Tibo.
