Indonesian pleas for mercy have saved its citizens from execution in other countries nearly 200 TIMES… so why are Australia’s appeals falling on deaf ears?

It has been revealed that Indonesia has managed to save 189 of its citizens on death row in other countries in the past three years after the government pleaded for mercy on their behalf. This comes as condemned Australians Andrew Chan (centre) and Myuran Sukumaran (left) battle in court to prevent their execution for drug crimes. Repeated appeals for clemency from the Australian government and Foreign Minister Jule Bishop (top right) to Indonesian President Joko Widodo (bottom right) have been rejected. (Daily Mail)
