A final act of defiance: Bali Nine refuse to sign execution papers.

The pair take one last stand against their looming executions.

The Bali Nine death row inmates are set to face the firing squad in the coming days, but they’ve taken one last daring stand:

Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran have refused to sign their execution papers.

The pair have defied authorities by refusing to sign the execution warrant, stating they have been rehabilitated and do not deserve to die.

News Limited reports Mr Sukumaran was the first of the death row prisoners to learn of his fate.

However, when asked to sign a document permitting his execution, he refused.

The pair’s lawyer, Julian McMahon, was present for this act.

“The way Myuran conducted himself reflected the depth and strength of his character. He was calm, composed and straightforward given what had just been said to him,” Mr McMahon told News Corporation.

“When he received the 72 hours notice he remained dignified and peaceful. He spoke with courtesy and clarity to a hushed room explaining why he felt to proceed to execution was unjust.”

Mr Chan followed suit, refusing to sign the execution warrant.

“I have helped other inmates as much as I can and I still do and that’s not me talking, you will hear that from a lot of people, the ones I have helped,” Chan reportedly told the prosecutors.

In the absence of a signed execution warrant, the prosecutors then outlined the reasons they wished not to sign.

The men argued they had spent 10 years in prison, were rehabilitated, had apologised to the Indonesian public, and should not face the unjust execution.

The pair were also asked for their final requests, which Mr McMahon would not disclose except to say they were “simple, mature and non-materialistic.”

Chan’s brother, however, revealed his sibling would like to attend church with his family prior to execution. Sukumaran’s brother also revealed Myuran had requested to paint as much as possible.

Meanwhile, Mr McMahon has also revealed the giant bribes requested by Indonesian officials to save the lives of Chan and Sukumaran.

Fairfax Media reports the bribes totaled more than $130,000 in exchange for a prison term of less than 20 years.

The requests were later dropped when a higher power reportedly pushed for the death penalty.

While the execution date has not been confirmed, Daily Mail Online reports it could be Tuesday at midnight.

The executions can still take place without the signed execution warrant.
