Hope is fading.
News Limited is reporting that the date has been set for the execution of Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran.
As per procedure, the pair have been given at least 72-hours notice, meaning they could be executed as early as Tuesday.
The men were the so-called ring-leaders of the Bali Nine, and were jailed for trying to smuggle heroin worth about $4 million into Australia.
They had been on death row in Kerobokan jail since 2006, before being transferred to execution island.
Despite Australia’s best efforts, Indonesian President Joko Widodo denied clemency to Chan and Sukumaran.
More to come.

Life is precious no matter whose? Evil and Goodness are both present in our world and humans choose right from wrong. These two young men who were then barely adults, chose wrong about 10 years ago, for which they have paid their debts to society and then made the decision to do good. Why is there so little humanity in our law? In this situation I cannot help remember Jesus' words: "If any of you are without sin, cast the first stone". There are rapists, serial killers, child molesters etc. who never change their hearts and once they serve their sentence are let loose back into society! Where is there justice? I pray for these two young men that God will prepare them with courage and strength to meet their plight!
These people new what they were doing, they also knew the rules. There punishment is fair for what they have done. $4 million dollars worth of drugs is a hell of a lot and its there own fault. I dont want to see them executed but in Indonesia, there rules are the standards so its a must to follows there rules when in that country. its there own fault. Sorry
