The fate of the Bali 9 ringleaders, Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukamaran, has galvanised public opinion in both Australia and Indonesia ever since their appeals for clemency were turned down by President Joko Widodo. Indonesia initially miscalculated Australia's resolve to save these two citizens from the firing squad but, as the execution day drew closer, the tide of public opinion in Australia turned towards supporting the two death row inmates forcing the Prime Minister, the Foreign Minister and the whole of the Australian Parliament to put into motion an unprecedented diplomatic campaign putting immense pressure on Indonesia to back down on the execution of the duo. At the time of writing, this campaign, along with pressure from the governments of other foreign nationals due to be executed for narcotics offences, has seen Indonesia postpone all of the executions until all legal avenues have been exhausted. Whether this delay will lead to a positive outcome for the death row inmates remains to be seen. This page has been specially put together to follow the cases of Chan and Sukamaran in particular and to focus on the diplomatic efforts in Australia to save them along with the internal pressure faced by the president within Indonesia to carry out the executions.
