It’s down to the wire for the two Australian Bali Nine convicts on death row.
In an eleventh hour attempt to save Myuran Sukumaran and Andrew Chan from the firing squad, the pair’s legal team has launched an appeal for further judicial review, reports Australia’s 9 News.
Their lawyers were reportedly able to get Denpasar district court’s clerk to come to Kerobokan Prison where they are incarcerated, in order to sign the papers for judicial review.
However, there is no guarantee that the appeal will actually be processed, even though those papers have reached the court, according to 9 News. Indonesia’s attorney general has previously gone on record saying no more judicial review for the two.
But the pair’s legal team has said they are still hopeful.
Both death row inmates wrote letters in bahasa Indonesia discussing their reform and rehabilitation.
“In a way, Bapak, I would like to thank you even though I’m in prison,” Sukumaran writes, as quoted by 9 News.
“If the lowest point of a society is prison, then it must be noted that your prison has changed me into an extraordinary person, a good man, an educated man.”
