We are still waiting for the final report."
Jakarta (ANTARA News) - The Attorney Generals Office (AGO) is coordinating with the National Police to prepare a firing squad and carry out the necessary technical preparations ahead of the executions, Attorney General HM Prasetyo stated.

"We have to prepare the team. Each team comprises 13 personnel. We will coordinate with the relevant parties," he noted here on Wednesday.

He will wait for the final report and the new schedule to carry out the executions.

"We are still waiting for the final report. Is a firing squad ready? Have they been given spiritual guidance?" he questioned.

Prasetyo also revealed that Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran have finally been moved from Kerobokan, Bali, to Nusakambangan island prison, Cilacap, Central Java, on Wednesday morning.

"They have been transferred to Nusakambangan island prison, Cilacap, Central Java," he stated.

He pointed out that the police will provide a special escort for the two Australians convicts.

Their family members will be able to see Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran before the start of the isolation period.

Prasetyo revealed that the isolation period will start within hours before the executions.

The attorney general plans to execute 11 criminals comprising eight involved in drug offenses and three in murders.

The 11 people are Syofial, alias Iyen bin Azwar (Indonesian), for a murder case; Mary Jane Fiesta Veloso (Filipino) for a drug case; Myuran Sukumaran, alias Mark (Australian), for drug smuggling; Harun bin Ajis (Indonesian) for murder and Sargawi, alias Ali bin Sanusi (Indonesian), for murder.

Also Serge Areski Atlaoui (French) for a drug-related case; Martin Anderson, alias Belo (Ghanian), for a drug case; Zainal Abidin (Indonesian) for a drug case; Raheem Agbaje Salami (Cordovan) for a drug case; Rodrigo Gularte (Brazilian) for a drug case; and Andrew Chan (Australian) for a drug case.

Earlier, President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) stated that no clemency will be granted to drug traffickers on death row.

"It (capital punishment) is still our positive law, and it is not the president who decides the death penalty, but it is the courts verdict. The president is only requested to grant clemency, but there is no clemency for drug traffickers," the president remarked here last Monday.

He affirmed that no country should interfere in Indonesias legal sovereignty.

Executions of drug-related criminals on death row are part of the legal sovereignty of Indonesia, he noted.

Moreover, Home Affairs Minister Tjahjo Kumolo remarked that various foreign pressures, including the United Nations, will not affect the execution of the death penalty.

"Foreign pressures will not affect the execution of the death sentences," he noted.

Tjahjo emphasized that the executions must be carried out. Indonesia is in a state of emergency with regard to drug abuse.

"Nearly 46 Indonesians die every day due to drug consumption," he stated.
