The execution of two Australian drug smugglers on death row in Indonesia has been delayed by up to one month, the vice-president’s office said today.
Husain Abdullah, the spokesman for Vice-President Jusuf Kalla, said the execution of Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran, the ringleaders of the so-called Bali Nine heroin trafficking group, “will be delayed for between three weeks to a month from now due to technical reasons,” without elaborating further.
Indonesia had earlier said that “nothing” would stop the executions.
