Australians set to face Indonesian firing squad despite pleas for mercy by Jessica Sheinfeld

Australians set to face Indonesian firing squad despite pleas for mercy

By Jessica Sheinfeld


No amount of pleading has moved Indonesian authorities to stop the execution of two Australians on death row in Indonesia for drug trafficking.  Pleads for leniency have been made by the government in Canberra and six former prime ministers, but that's not happening, the two men will remain on death row.  The two men are still waiting for their sentence to be carried out completely, but it's said that death row is likely to happen soon for them.

  1. This relates to the 5,6, 7, and 8 amendments to the constitution that outline the rights prisoners have in our country, but one question has been how do these rights apply to those who aren't Americans?
