Man Awaiting Execusion By Firing Squard Come Tuesday Weds First by Onyi42(m): 2:14pm On Apr 27, 2015 |
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. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/04/man-awaiting-execusion-by-firing-squard-come-tuesday-weds-first/ |

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 1 Like |

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). What's good for the goose is good for the gander |
