BALI 9 EXECUTIONS NEAR

Relatives of prisoners who may be executed within hours for drugs offences in Indonesia have been visited by their families for what could be the final time.

Australians Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran and seven others are due to be executed by firing squad.

Australia has urged Indonesia to delay the execution of its two citizens pending a corruption investigation into their case.

But Jakarta says the executions will go ahead as planned.

Indonesia has harsh drug laws as it attempts to deal with the country's drugs problem.

Myuran Sukumaran's mother issued a fresh plea to Indonesia's President to change his mind.

IN: "I won't…
OUT: ...my son."
DUR: 22 seconds.
