Update - Australian, Filipina İnmates Notified Of Executions

25.04.2015 16:18

Death row inmates informed they could face a firing squad as early as Tuesday, according to reports.

Indonesian authorities have notified two Australians and a Filipina, who are among 10 death row inmates on a remote penal island, that they could be executed as early as Tuesday.



Myuran Sukumaran and Andrew Chan were informed Saturday that they may face a firing squad in a minimum of 72 hours on Nusa Kambangan island, according to the Australian Associated Press.



After visiting the "Bali Nine" duo, their lawyer Julian McMahon returned with three self-portraits by Sukumaran -- one dated April 25 and with the inscription "72 hours just started."



Meanwhile, Rappler reported that Filipina Mary Jane Fiesta Veloso could be executed Tuesday.



Her sister Marites told Rappler that after she and other family members -- including Mary Jane's 6- and 12-year-old sons -- visited Nusa Kambangan ealier in the day, Mary Jane called to say she had been notified of her execution date.



However, a French national has reportedly been granted a temporary reprieve from execution.



Fairfax Media "ed Indonesian Foreign Ministry spokesman Arrmanatha Nasir as saying that Serge Atlaoui had an ongoing legal case before the Administrative Court, and that the French Embassy had not been among those summoned to meetings with the Attorney General's Office.



Delegations from several embassies visited the office's complex in Cilacap, near Nusa Kambangan in Java, the Detik.com news website reported, along with the inmates' lawyers and state prosecutors.



Attorney General spokesman Tony Spontana had earlier confirmed that Indonesia's Foreign Ministry had invited the officials in preparation for the executions.



Spontana said Thursday that the date of execution for the nationals from seven different countries would be set Monday once a final appeal by an Indonesian drug trafficker is known.



"If Zainal's appeal is rejected, it will complete the [appeals of] the inmates," he explained, according to Indonesian website detik.com.



Indonesia, which gives prisoners at least three days notice before execution, has said it will wait until all appeals have been exhausted before the ten face the firing squad.



Outside of the Australian and Philippine nationals, those set to be executed include: Martin Anderson from Ghana, Rodrigo Gularte (Brazil), Zainal Abidin (Indonesia), and Raheem Agbajee Salami, Okwudili Oyatanze and Sylvester Obiekwe Nwolise (Nigeria, although Salami is travelling on a Spanish passport). - Endonezya
