According to ABC news, four
Australians Andrew Chan, 31, and Myuran Sukumaran, 33, who are currently in a
Bali jail, Raheem Agbaje Salami, 45, a Nigerian national who was born in
Cordova, Spain, and 30-year-old Filipina Mary Jane Fiesta Veloso to be executed.
The four convicts being
transferred, two Nigerians and four men from Brazil, France, Ghana and
Indonesia will be executed simultaneously by a firing squad on the prison
island off Indonesia's main island of Java.
The Nigerians face
execution after their clemency requests were rejected by Indonesian President
Joko "Jokowi" Widodo last month, said Attorney General's office
spokesman Tony Spontana.
They are Silvester Obiekwe
Nwolise, 39, and Okwudili Oyatanze, 40, whose clemency was rejected after he
was caught running drug transactions from behind bars.
Jokowi has received phone
calls from some foreign leaders asking that the executions be canceled, but
rejected their requests. He vowed not to grant mercy to drug offenders because
Indonesia is suffering a "drug emergency."
Australian Prime Minister
Tony Abbott has called on Indonesia to "reciprocate" for Australia's
$1 billion aid package after the 2004 tsunami by sparing his two countrymen.
Indonesia executed six drug
convicts including foreigners in January. More than 130 people are on death
row, including 57 drug convicts.
