An Australian drug trafficker married his
girlfriend Monday on the Indonesian prison island
where he is set to be executed soon, his brother
said, urging the country’s president to show
compassion to the newlyweds.

Andrew Chan, 31, married his Indonesian
girlfriend Febyanti Herewila in a ceremony on
Nusakambangan Island, home to several high-
security prisons, his brother Michael said.

He could be put to death by firing squad as soon as
Tuesday, along with seven other foreign drug
convicts, after authorities at the weekend gave
then formal notice of their executions. “We’ve
had a special day today,” Michael Chan said as he
announced the marriage after returning from a
visit to Nusakambangan. “We’ve celebrated with
some family and close friends.

“Hopefully the president will show some
compassion, some mercy, so these two young
people can carry on with their lives. “It’s in the
president’s hands.” Chan met his future wife
several years ago when Herewila, a pastor, began
helping inmates in the jail where the Australian
was imprisoned.

Chan and fellow Australian Myuran Sukumaran,
both among the group facing imminent execution,
are ringleaders of the so-called “Bali Nine”
heroin-smuggling gang and were sentenced to
death in 2006.

Australia has mounted a diplomatic campaign to
save the pair but President Joko Widodo has
vowed there will be no clemency for drug
traffickers on death row in Indonesia. He says
the country faces an emergency due to rising
narcotics use.

Indonesia has the world's strictest drug laws. They should abeg take things easy especially with the Nigerians too!

This drug lord is hoping for cheap sympaty ni jor.....and as for the girl that married a convict what's the moral in doing that......may be she is in charge of the convict wealth and if the man is executed she has a legal claim on the property.....sharp woman

I hope they pardon him. Because if they do pardon him, our minister of foreign affairs must see to it that they protect the interest and life of Nigerian citizen and their legal entities abroad( especially the ones that are to be executed).
