CRI听力:Convicts Transferred to Indonesian Island for Execution

Final preparations are underway for the planned execution of two Australian nationals in Indonesia.

Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran were the ringleaders of the so-called "Bali Nine" drug smuggling gang.

Indonesia's Attorney General says the firing squad is currently undergoing training for the executions, which include not only the two Australian men, but 7 other foreign nationals.

The mass executions are being delayed by a last-ditch appeal from a Filipino convict.

Indonesian Attorney General Muhammad Prasetyo.

"Because the clemency has been rejected by president Joko Widodo, all processes have been completed, and the convicts are ready to be executed. But because there are convicts who filed a judicial review to the Supreme Court, we will see future developments."

Indonesian authorities plan to give 72 hours’ notice to the convicts before they're put to death.

The case involving the two Australian men has been dominating headlines, with the Australian government pushing feverishly to have the death sentences commuted.

However, all their appeals have been rejected.
