On the contrary Kathryn, Chan and Sukumaran had a 'fierce desire to live' even if it meant being imprisoned for a very long time. They and their families asked only for clemency to live, not clemency to be released from prison. They wanted to continue the many programs they had started in...

You are implying that Julie Bishop is talking **** and that she was part of the 'smear campaign'. I have merely highlighted what she has said to the Sunday Telegraph.

Sigh! You didn't read past the first paragraph did you, Strannik? From the Daily Telegraph article dated 8 Mar 2015 The Indonesians who had faced execution but had their death sentences suspended were convicted of crimes including drug smuggling in Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, China, Iran...

INDONESIA'S world class hypocrisy over the death penalty has been laid bare in statistics that reveal it fought for and won execution reprieves for nearly 200 of its own citizens. Some experts estimate there are 360 Indonesians facing the death penalty overseas including vulnerable migrant...

May I just gently point out that Indonesia does everything they can to plead for clemency, compassion and mercy for their Indonesian nationals/citizens on death row in other countries for drug trafficking and drug related offences. Joko himself stated they will do everything they can - provide...

Sorry to disappoint you, Strannik, but I know none of them unless you count chemists as drug dealers, then I know quite a few in my area.

Seriously, instead of hanging around here slagging off 2 dead men as keyboard lounge warriors. Why don't you do us all a favour and write to some drug dealers in your area 'Stop being so greedy and trying to make a quick buck. Dob in your cartel, shut down your operation and save some kids...

There is some question of the legality of the executions under international law. Under an international treaty which Indonesia signed up to, death sentence can only be imposed for "the most serious crimes". "Drug trafficking does not constitute such a crime when it involves no prima facie...

Strannik, you clearly haven't read some of the outstanding things Chan and Sukumaran did when alive. Only in the last 1-2 days, little known facts of about the generous and brave things they did have come out in the news. Did you know: - Mr Julian McMahon recalled the extraordinary...

Kudos to both of you, Hoffy and HiEquity! I'm beginning to think that Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran were much more highly evolved than some of the Neanderthals that inhabit this thread. Actually, I'm not only beginning to think so, I'm now utterly convinced of it! :D

http://www.theage.com.au/world/bali-executions-eight-prisoners-refused-to-wear-blindfolds-as-they-were-shot-20150429-1mvm99.html Ben Quilty was right, the sound of love, faith, belief and compassion would cut through the still night of the island before the sounds of Widodo's guns ever would.

Your argument is akin to saying people and children shouldn't be good then because they only want to be good to in order to go to heaven..... Does it matter why they became religious or why they reformed? All that matters is that they HAVE reformed. That they have become good people -...

Strannik, you've got your facts wrong. The Bali Nine were taking drugs OUT of the country, NOT into the country. This is a piece of factual information that the Indonesian media keep misrepresenting to their own people.

"Tonight you will kill two good men, my friends": Ben Quilty's message to Widodo Australian artist Ben Quilty has been integral to the "I Stand for Mercy" fighting for clemency on behalf of Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran, and an end to the death penalty internationally. But Quilty is also a...

Doesn't anyone else feel outraged and saddened that the boys request for the choice of their spiritual counsellor to be with them till the final moment has been denied? They have no relationship with the Indonesian appointed spiritual counsellor! :confused: It's crass, disappointing and...

I hate it that the men are given notification that they have 72 hours to live on ANZAC day. It's ironical. On Anzac day, we commemorate young men going to their slaughter at Gallipolli. These 2 men are going to their slaughter in 72 hours. Australian lawyer Julian McMahon with three...

Okay Harro, let's put the shoe on the other foot. Supposing one of your daughters was involved in trafficking drugs, she knows the kingpins she's working for and she regularly goes to Bali to party, drink, take drugs and traffic drugs. One drunken and drug fueled night in Bali, she gets into...

Bali nine executions: Governor of Jakarta urges president to reconsider death penalty Opposition to capital punishment within Indonesia is mounting, with the Governor of Jakarta now urging President Joko Widodo to commute the death sentences of reformed drug felons to life imprisonment...

So are you saying that they have stopped behaving like animals and started behaving like human beings again since they did the following things? : - "Both Chan and Sukumaran, organisers of the Bali nine heroin smuggling syndicate, have reformed in prison, helping hundreds of Indonesian...
