Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott is pleading with the Indonesian government to show mercy for two Australians currently facing execution for drug convictions in Bali.
But at the same time, Abbott is warning of repercussions should the Indonesian government enact the death sentences.
"Well, what we understand is that there are still legal options available to these two Australians and their legal teams, and we certainly appreciate that the Indonesian government doesn't normally go ahead with executions of this type while there are legal options still available. And that's what we're saying to the Indonesian government, given that there are legal options that apparently are still there, let's not do this dreadful, final, irrevocable thing any time soon."
Indonesian authorities have been insistent, saying the verdict is final.
Tony Spontana is a spokesperson for Indonesia's Attorney General.
"The legal process is finished. We have already received the rejection letter from the President about their clemency and it's final. The next step is execution. So, if their legal team is still doing legal work, that's not going to delay the execution process. The preparations still continue."
The two Australians on death-row are the convicted ringleaders of a group of nine Australians who were arrested in 2005 trying to smuggle heroin from Bali to Australia.
Indonesia has some of the toughest drug laws in the world.
Drug traffickers are routinely put to death.
