Indonesia has executed eight out of nine drug convicts by firing squad despite last-ditch appeals by Australia's foreign minister for a stay of execution so that claims of corruption during the trials of two Australian prisoners could be investigated.
The executions were carried out after midnight (17:30 GMT) at Besi prison on Nusakambangan Island on Tuesday, after the inmates were given 72-hours notice.
Over the weekend, authorities had asked the nine convicts, which included two Australians, four Nigerian men, one man each from Brazil and Indonesia and a Filipino woman for their last wishes.
However, the execution of the Filipina, Mary Jane Veloso, was spared at the last minute after someone suspected of recruiting her surrendered to police in the Philippines, the attorney general's spokesman told the Reuters news agency late on Tuesday.
"The execution of Mary Jane Veloso has been postponed because there was a request from the Philippine president related to a perpetrator suspected of human trafficking who surrendered herself in the Philippines," Tony Spontana, spokesman for the attorney general said.
"Mary Jane has been asked to testify."
Earlier, Filipino migrants had rallied in Hong Kong on behalf of Velose - a 30-year-old mother of two whose supporters said was tricked into carrying a suitcase loaded with heroin.
Al Jazeera's Step Vaessen, reporting from Cilacap in Indonesia, said while there was an outpouring of joy among Filipinos that Velose had been spared, there would be a different reaction from Australia after Jakarta rejected last-ditch pleas for clemency.
"The executions could cause a diplomatic fallout between Australia and Indonesia similar toearlier this year when the Netherlands and Brazil recalled their ambassadors after their nationals were killed," she said.
Australia had mounted a sustained campaign to save its citizens, who have been on death row for almost a decade.
Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran were the Australian ringleaders of the so-called "Bali Nine" heroin trafficking group whoe were arrested at the main airport on the holiday island in April 2005 for trying to smuggle 8.3kg of heroin to Australia.
The seven other members of the Bali Nine, all Australians, were jailed in Indonesia and did not face the death penalty.

Australia should resume air strikes to send the blood thirsty thailand a message. The message is- HE WHO LIVES IN GLASS HOUSE SHOULD NOT THROW STONES.
