"It was announced in December 2014 that clemency was refused for the many prisoners on death row for drug offences, and that they will be executed. Two of them are reformed prisoners, Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran, who while in jail have done much good over many years. The positive stories of their rehabilitation are known in Indonesia and around the world. They are a true credit to the Indonesian Penal system, which has enabled their rehabilitation.
In jail, each of them has shown remorse and sorrow for his drug crimes and turned his life around, and helped many other prisoners to do the same. They are role models for other prisoners. Welcoming Indonesia’s renewed commitment to the recognition and implementation of international human rights standards, we humbly petition Your Excellency that prisoners who reform should only be jailed, not executed."
