Denpasar Penitentiary Yet To Receive "Bali Nine" Duo`s Transfer Order

Denpasar, Bali (Antara Bali) - Denpasar Class-IIA Penitentiary warden Sudjonggo has yet to receive the transfer order to move Australian convicts Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran, who are part of the "Bali Nine" group on death row, to another facility.

"We have yet to receive the order to move Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran," Sudjonggo stated here on Thursday night.

According to him, the security during this process is entirely the responsibility of the police and not of the Denpasar Class-IIA Penitentiary.

"We are responsible to protect the death row convicts while they are in the penitentiary, but soon after they are moved out of the penitentiary, their security is not our responsibility," Sudjonggo noted.

He said the two Australian death row convicts are likely to be flown to Central Java where they will be executed in Nusakambangan along with other convicted criminals from East Java, Banten, and Aceh.

Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran, the ringleaders of the so-called Bali Nine group of heroin smugglers, have been denied presidential pardons and are imminently facing a firing squad.  (WDY)
