the two Australians on death row in Indonesia appear to have received a one-year reprieve from facing the firing squad, despite Indonesia planning to start executions again. The two are members of the Australian drug trafficking group dubbed the Bali Nine. Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran were both sentenced to death for their part in the failed operation and are now in Bali's infamous Kerobokan prison. While 133 criminals have been sentenced to death in Indonesia this year alone, delays have meant none have been executed since 2008, when three of the Bali bombers faced the firing squad. But the attorney-general's office has now announced plans to carry out the death sentence for eight convicted criminals next year. The office has not said who those eight people will be, other than they would be people who were sentenced in 2012. That leaves Chan and Sukumaran off the list of executions for next year. Both Chan and Sukumaran have lost all judicial appeals.
