Bali Nine pair to be transferred on Wednesday, says prosecutor

Version 0 of 1. Myuran Sukumaran and Andrew Chan will be moved on Wednesday to the penal island where they will be executed, Bali’s prosecutor says. Momock Bambang Samiarso was meeting other authorities in Bali on Tuesday to co-ordinate the move of the Bali Nine pair to Nusa Kambangan, he said. “Co-ordination has been completed, it [the transfer] will be implemented tomorrow at noon,” he told reporters. Momock said everything was in place, including two military aircraft to carry out the transfer – one for the prisoners and one for the escorting police team. However, he had not yet informed the Australian consul general Majell Hind. “Not yet,” he said. “We’ve just finished co-ordinating.” Chan and Sukumaran’s barrister, Julian McMahon, has warned that sending them for execution before their next appeal could jeopardise Indonesia’s reputation as a law-respecting democracy. He was visiting his clients inside Kerobokan jail when the news was announced. Sukumaran’s mother Raji and Chan’s brother Michael had visited earlier and had since left the prison. |
