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 Michaelsaid.
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,” MichaelChan 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.” Chanmet 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 ring leaders of the so-called “BaliNine” heroin-smuggling gang and were sentenced to death in 2006.
Australia has mounted a diplomatic campaign to save the pairbut President Joko Widodo has vowed there willbe no clemency for drug traffickers on death row in Indonesia. He says the country faces an emergency due to rising narcotics use.

That guy and his wife still take that stuff, I'm sure. That's one of such things capable of producing such a warped logic; death sentence - wedding - emotional blackmail.

His yeye marriage doesn't stop anything

Maybe he had quashed the lady out of wedlock and now for his sins to be abated, he has to do the right thing.

God will receive his soul

probably the girl friend needs to marry him to get access to some other stuff he owns
