Bali officials have confirmed Myuran Sukumaran and Andrew Chan will be moved this week to an island in Central Java for their executions.
Momock Bambang Samiarso, head of Bali’s provincial prosecutors office, held the final meeting to coordinate the task on Monday.
He told reporters afterwards the pair would be moved “this week, as soon as possible”, but probably not on Tuesday.
He said they would likely be transferred by air, possibly on a commercial flight. Their families would be notified “for sure, very soon”.
The coordination meeting in Bali involved several government agencies.
Albertus Julius Benny Mokalu, head of Bali’s provincial police, told reporters 10 officers would guard Chan and Sukumaran for the journey to Cilacap, the departure point for Nusa Kambangan island.
More would be required for the trip from Kerobokan to the airport, he said. “We’re coordinating with local related officers, including the military about how this transfer for execution can be safe,” he said.
In Jakarta, representatives from the Australian embassy attended a foreign affairs ministry briefing on procedural matters concerning the executions. They left without speaking to reporters.
Representatives from France, Brazil, Nigeria and the Philippines – who have citizens facing execution at the same time as Sukumaran and Chan – were also present.
Australia’s prime minister, Tony Abbott, and foreign minister, Julie Bishop, earlier said they were continuing to make representations at the highest levels in a bid to save the pair.
