Bali Nine executions to be delayed after death row inmate launches appeal

A death row inmate slated to be executed along with the Bali Nine ringleaders has had her appeal for a judicial review granted, which means the Australians' executions could be delayed for months.

Mary Jane Fiesta Veloso, has been granted a judicial review of her case, which could take months.

Supreme Court spokesman, Suhadi, told Kompas newspaper the Filipina's judicial review application had been accepted and judges would be appointed this week.

"After that, the judges will examine the case and study it," he said. "This could take months."

Jakarta has indicted it will wait for legal appeals of some 10 of the drug offenders it wishes to execute together before setting a date.

It means Chan and Sukumaran could avoid the firing squad for months.

However, the attorney-general says some prisoners could be taken off the execution list pending their appeals, meaning they will execute fewer than 10 in the next round.
