Calls for clemency multiply ... Richard Branson is the latest to implore the Indonesian authorities not to execute foreigners, including a French, sentenced to death for drug trafficking. The presidential pardon just be denied and punishment can occur at any time.
This man is the brother of one of the condemned:
"Our family remains hopeful that the president noted how Myuran and Andrew helped Indonesians within the Prison and to exhibit mercy toward us. We are grateful to the Indonesian justice for this and all we ask is that they can spend the rest of their lives in prison and not be executed, thank you. "
With the exception of French Serge Atlaoui, other convicts, including two Australians, are held on a prison island of Java island.
Richard Branson, owner of Virgin Group and member of the Global Commission on Drug Policy:
"Dealing drugs is a health problem, not a crime problem, and in fact it helps to reduce the number of deaths, it limits the expansion of diseases such as AIDS or hepatitis C, and this reduces the crime related to drug trafficking, and finally it allows people who fight against addiction again become useful members of society. "
If Australians severely strained relations between Canberra and Jakarta ... An Indonesian minister even threatening to let to Australian shores 10,000 asylum seekers if Australia did not cease his leniency applications.
