I'm really sorry to hear that actually. I wonder how many people on death row in Indonesia are actually murderers?
MOO
Yes, I am sad to hear it too. We don't do the death penalty here and, quite frankly, I would rather see it applied to all the bloody pedophiles of the world than these two young guys.
Sukumaran and Chan based their clemency bids on the strong efforts they have made at rehabilitation since they were locked in Kerobokan prison in 2005.
Sukumaran learns and teaches art to fellow inmates, runs a computer lab and a t-shirt printing room, offering the products for sale outside, with revenue flowing back to the prison.
Chan has become deeply involved in the affairs of the prison church.
Each has apologised and shown remorse for being involved in a conspiracy to import 8.2kg of heroin from Bali to Australia in 2005.

I'm unable to find how many people are currently on death row there ... though I think we found the number at one time, over 100 maybe? Can't recall.
But this article says that there are 64 drug convicts sitting on death row at this time.
