MOSCOW (Sputnik) — The two Australian drug smugglers sentenced to death in Indonesia will learn on Monday if appeal against Indonesian President Joko Widodo’s rejection of the clemency is allowed, The Canberra Times reports on Sunday.
Despite the State Administrative Court of Jakarta has ruled several times that the presidential clemency falls outside its jurisdiction, Michael O'Connell, one the Indonesian lawyers for two Australians, has made another effort to save the men’s lives.
The lawyer has vowed to keep fighting even if the appeal is rejected.

"We will have to find our way and ground to launch another legal action," professor Todung Mulya Lubis, a human rights advocate and the Australians' supporter was quoted as saying by the newspaper.
On March 6, the Indonesian Attorney-General's office said it would let all legal processes run their course before carrying out the executions.
Sukumaran, 33, and Chan, 31, two members of the so-called Bali Nine, were convicted in 2005 for attempting to smuggle 8.3kg (18lbs) of heroin into Indonesia from Australia, according to media.
The remaining seven members of the group received prison sentences of varying lengths.
