Indon embassy bracing for backlash

The Indonesian embassy is warning its citizens in Australia to be safety conscious ahead of the executions of Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran.

Indonesian officials are on Monday expected to detail their plan to send the drug smugglers to the firing squad.

In an email to Indonesians in Australia, the embassy advises people to be mindful of their safety.

The email does not specifically refer to the executions but alludes to developments.

"Keep calm and carry out daily activities by increasing alertness," it said.

Indonesians were urged to monitor the security situation through the media and online.

It warned people against being provoked.

The embassy also cautioned people to be careful of what they said verbally and on social media sites.
