CANBERRA<\/strong><\/p>\n

Prime Minister Tony Abbott is among federal politicians who are holding a candlelight vigil for death row inmates Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran on the forecourt of parliament.<\/h3>\n

Opposition Leader Bill Shorten and Foreign Minister Julie Bishop are also present at the sombre dawn vigil.<\/p>\n

Organised the Australian Parliamentarians against the Death Penalty, co-chaired by Veteran Liberal MP Philip Ruddock, politicians and the public are calling for the Bali Nine pair to be spared from execution.<\/p>\n

Labor’s foreign affairs spokeswoman Tanya Plibersek and Greens leader Christine Milne have also joined the impromptu gathering outside the federal parliament.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The two Australians on Wednesday spent their first night on Indonesia’s “death island” Nusakambangan, after being transferred from the Bali jail that has been their home for the past decade.<\/p>\n

The pair don’t know how long they will wait to face the firing squad, but Indonesian President Joko Widodo has said they will not be executed this week.<\/p>\n

Foreign Minister Julie Bishop said those present were “united in a cause” to save the two condemned men.<\/p>\n

“We ask the Indonesian Government, indeed we appeal to the Indonesian President to grant a stay of clemency,” Ms Bishop told the vigil.<\/p>\n

She urged a stay of execution while a legal challenge was underway and outstanding questions remained about the mens’ trials.<\/p>\n

“There are still legal avenues open to the men and an appeal is being sought before the State administrative Court. Secondly, there are allegation s being considered by their judicial commission regarding bribery charges arising from the original trial,” she said.<\/p>\n

Ms Bishop called for mercy for the two “changed men”.<\/p>\n

“They have been rehabilitated in the most remarkable way,” she said.<\/p>\n

“It is to the credit of the Indonesian prison system that two men who were convicted of the most serious of crimes have indeed been rehabilitated, they are changed men.”<\/p>\n

Ms Bishop said she was asking “no more of Indonesia than Indonesia asks and receives from other countries when its citizens are face ing the death penalty”.<\/p>\n

Ms Bishop was joined by Labor foreign affairs spokeswoman Tanya Plibersek and Greens leader Christine Milne in appealing for clemency.<\/p>\n
