Indonesia's Attorney-General says 10 prisoners will face the firing squad in the next round of executions, but among them are at least three with cases before the courts and one prisoner promised a second opinion on his medical condition.
H.M. Prasetyo has confirmed the 10 will be executed on Nusakambangan
Island, in central Java, on a date to be set. "When all preparations have been made, then we will immediately execute them," he told reporters.
Four convicted drug smugglers were yet to be transferred to Nusakambangan - Australians Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran, Filipina Mary Jane Fiesta Veloso and Nigerian Raheem Agbaje Salami.
Chan and Sukumaran's lawyers are urging the Attorney-General to respect their planned appeal against a court's decision on Tuesday to throw out their challenge to President Joko Widodo's clemency process. They have two weeks to lodge that appeal.
French prisoner Serge Areski Atlaoui's bid for a judicial review is to be heard in court next month. His lawyer Aristo Pangaribuan says although his client was denied presidential clemency, he has not yet exhausted his right to the review. He will argue his client, who has always denied the charges, does not deserve the death penalty. That is if he is still alive by the court date.
