Reports today that the Bali Nine duo could be executed within days.
It’s the news that so many of us have been dreading.
Reports have emerged that the Indonesian Attorney General’s office has sent letters to the prosecutors of all 10 prisoners on death row ordering them to prepare the executions.
It seems like the dreadful day has finally come with Australians Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran now expected to be killed within days.
AAP reports that the Australian and Nigerian embassies have confirmed receiving a letter asking them to go to Cilacap, the port closest to Nusakambangan, on Saturday.
It is believed that they are going to be told the date for the execution.
Indonesia must give 72 hours before the executions take place.
AAP contacted the Indonesian Attorney-General’s spokesman Tony Spontana who confirmed letters to prosecutors advising them to prepare for the executions had been sent.
“The letter is for preparation, implementation and reporting after the execution,” Mr Spontana said.
He said the Attorney General was now waiting for the judicial review of Indonesian man Zainal Abidin to be rejected before going ahead with the executions but that they expected that to be finalised within days.
Fairfax Media quotes lawyer Karim Utomo, who represented Brazilian Marco Archer Cardoso Moreira who was killed in the January 18 executions, he said he believes the letters mean the executions would take place three days after the meeting, possibly Monday or Tuesday.
