Indonesian court to decide on Bali Nine duo's execution appeal

An Indonesian court is set to announce today its verdict on the appeal by two Australian drug dealers against their death sentence. Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran, the ringleaders of the so-called "Bali Nine" trafficking gang, were sentenced to death in 2006 for trying to smuggle heroin out of Indonesia. The men have mounted several legal bids to avoid execution and their pleas for clemency were rejected by Indonesian President Joko Widodo, who has taken a hard line against traffickers.

The duo's lawyers argue that Mr Joko failed to assess the men's rehabilitation or give reasons for refusing them clemency. The case has led to diplomatic tension between Indonesia and Australia, whose Prime Minister Tony Abbott has tried various tacks without success to save the convicts' lives. - LEE SEOK HWAI
