The
protesters staged the rally in support of the Indonesian government's plan to
execute the Australian death-row prisoners and two more of the signs read: 'Execution now for drug criminals' and 'Execution is one way to stop drugs'.

protests come after the planned executions have ramped up diplomatic tension
between Australia and Indonesia after repeated pleas for mercy from the
Australian government on the men's behalf

Myuran Sukumaran and Andrew Chan are visiting the men on Nusakambangan, the
Indonesian penal island where they will be executed.

is my country, this is an independent country, we must save my generation,'
he told reporters.
