TEMPO.CO, Canberra - Around twenty Australian celebrities have united in what appears to be a last attempt to raise support for death-row inmates Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukuraman. It was Australian war artist and Archibal Prize winner, Ben Quilty, who helped craft a two-and-a-half-minute video that links to an online petition.
“It’s for Myu and Andrew — I’d do anything for those two boys,” he said.
“I Stand for Mercy,” the celebrities shouted for support. Australian artists Asher Keddie, Claudia Karvan, Justine Clarke, Bryan Brown, David Wenham and Richard Roxbugh; musicians Missy Higgins and Megan Washington; and political commentators Alan Jones and Germaine Greer all threw their weight behind the petition.
“Indonesia you have succeeded in your purpose,” says the text in the video. “You have rehabilitated these men. Keep hope alive. Let them live.”
