Denpasar, Bali (Antara) - The family members of the two Australian convicts on the death row; Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran did not comment on future execution of the two convicts. "Our family do not want to comment now. We hope you understand it," Andrew Chan's elder brother Michael Chan said at the Kerobokan prison here on Tuesday. It was the first sentence uttered by Chan's elder brother Michael Chan so far. Michael Chan came to the Kerobokan prison at about 9.00 a.m. and left the prison at 11.30 a.m. local time. On the other hand, the mother of Myuran Sukumaran, Raji Sukumaran and two of her other children Chintu and Brintha Sukumaran always reject to comment. Meanwhile, Attorney General HM Prasetyo said in Jakarta on January 15 that the execution of "Bali Nine" member Myuran Sukumaran still had yet to wait for the decision of Andrew Chan`s request for pardon. The Australian citizen has been sentenced to death for being convicted of smuggling 8.2 kilograms of heroin to Indonesia. The government decided recently to implement the death sentence on six narcotic convicts. Bali Nine refers to nine Australians caught on April 17, 2005 in Bali attempting to smuggle 8.2 kilograms of heroin to the island from Australia. The nine people are Andrew Chan, Myuran Sukumaran, Si Yi Chen, Michael Czugaj, Renae Lawrence, Tach Duc Than Nguyen, Matthew Norman, Scott Rush and Martin Stephens. (*) Reported by Dewa Wiguna
