‘No second chance’ for Bali Nine drug smugger facing execution: Widodo

Indonesian President Joko Widodo says there will be no second chance for Bali Nine drug smuggler Myuran Sukumaran, who appears set to face execution.

Mr Widodo had recently rejected Sukumuran's clemency bid, and on Thursday confirmed to Fairfax Media he would not entertain the idea of intervening in the Bali Nine member's sentence.

He said 50 people died every day in Indonesia because of drugs.

"My obligation is to decide on clemency, and I won't grand clemency to drugs convicts," he said.

However, he appeared unaware Sukumuran and the rest of the Bali Nine had been taking drugs out of Indonesia, not bringing them in.

The group were caught in April 2005 trying to smuggle 8.2kg of heroin out of the country.

Following the rejection of his clemency bid, Sukumuran said in a statement he felt he had been "punched in the stomach".

Fellow Bali Nine smuggler Andrew Chan is awaiting a decision on his own clemency bid.

Sukumuran and Chan have both appeared to travel a path of rehabilitation while in prison.
