In accordance with an agreement reached with the local Bali government officials including the governor, Myuran Sukumaran and Andrew Chan, who were members of the Bali Nine drug ring, will be moved from the LP Kerobokan prison in Bali, he noted.
He recalled having proposed Nusakambangan in Cilacap, Central Java, as the appropriate location for their execution.
Prasetyo revealed that they have not yet reached a decision regarding when the convicts will be transferred to Nusakambangan, and that the Bali authorities will decide the date.
"They have not reported when they would be transferred. It has only been discussed," he added.
Regarding the Australian governments reaction to the implementation of death penalty to the two Australians, Attorney General H.M. Prasetyo urged Australia to respect the Indonesian law, which still imposes a death penalty for narcotic crimes.
"It is their right to reject it, but we also have our own stance," he emphasized.
He said Indonesias law sovereignty must be upheld and expressed hope that Australia will also respect it.
"Our law sovereignty must be respected as we must also respect other countries law sovereignty," he noted.
Prasetyo stated that the Attorney Generals Office (AGO) will involve other agencies such as the police, the Ministry of Law and Human Rights, the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Religious Affairs, and others to ensure the smooth implementation of the execution.
"We will prepare everything properly, so that the execution will be carried out well," he noted.
Myuran Sukumaran and Andrew Chan are among the 11 death convicts to be executed soon after their clemency pleas were declined by the president.
The AGO has received the presidential decrees rejecting the requests for clemency from the 11 death row convicts comprising eight drug convicts and three murder convicts.
Syofial alias Iyen bin Azwar, Harun bin Ajis, and Sargawi alias Ali bin Sanusi, who are all Indonesian citizens, have been convicted in murder cases and awarded death penalty.
Meanwhile, the eight drug convicts are Mary Jane Fiesta Veloso (Filipino), Myuran Sukumaran alias Mark (Australian), Sergei Areski Atlaoui (French), Martin Anderson alias Belo (Ghanaian), Zainal Abidin (Indonesian), Raheem Agbaje Salami (citizen from Cordoba), Rodrigo Gularte (Brazilian), and Andrew Chan (Australian).
The AGO has recently executed six drug convicts including five foreigners after their mercy pleas were rejected by President Joko Widodo.
The new president has adopted a firm stance against drug convicts over the recent spate in drug-related crimes in the country, emphasizing that Indonesia is in a state of drug emergency as some 50 drug addicts die daily, or 18 thousand annually in the country.
Indonesia has 4.5 million drug addicts who need rehabilitation. Some 1.2 million drug addicts are in such a dire condition that rehabilitation is no longer an option for them.
