Feb 15
Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott has warned Indonesia of tough diplomatic response to executions of two of its citizens by it. He said that millions of Australians are sickened in view of their imminent execution. No date has been set for the killing of Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran, but Indonesia has said that governments with citizens on death row have been invited to talks at the foreign ministry tomorrow.

The two Australians are facing execution by firing squad as early as this week, as ring leaders of the so-called Bali Nine group, trafficking heroin from Indonesia's island of Bali into Australia. While all hope appears to be lost, Abbott put pressure on Jakarta for the second day in a row.
