AUSTRALIANS HOLD VIGIL FOR CITIZENS AWAITING EXECUTION IN INDONESIA

Australians held vigil on Wednesday night for two of their citizens, Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran who are awaiting execution in Indonesia for drug related offences commited in April 2005.

The vigil was organised in Sydney by Australia's most popular artist Ben Quilty.

Hundreds of people gathered in Melbourne's Federation Square and the Western suburb of Toongabbie for the vigil.

Vigils were also reported to have been held in cities of Adelaide, Brisbane and Berth.

The two Australians with five other foreigners lost their last appeal for clemency from the Indonesian President.

While the date of execution has been shifted, Indonesian government confirms that they will be in the next batch of death row inmates to be executed despite Australia governments persistent clamour that the executions should not be carried out.
