An Indonesian television network has aired how Bali Nine drug smugglers Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran will be killed by firing squad. Channel 1 Indonesia broadcast a video in January, showing how death row convicts will be executed.

The footage was aired before the first batch of execution was held on Nusakambangan Island. It described the step-by-step procedure of executing convicts based on the 27 rules followed by the firing squad in the country.

As the Daily Mail reports, the footage was aired in the country on January 17, a day before the execution of the first six prisoners. Chan, Sukumaran and the rest of the prisoners set to be killed next are awaiting the same fate.

The footage shows members of the mobile paramilitary brigade called Brimob in firing practice before they are set to shoot on a white figure representing a convict. The figure wears simple, white clothing with a black mark drawn over where his heart is located so the shooters can have a target to shoot at. The figure also wears a black hood over its head and has its arms tied behind the back.

The show also detailed the 27-rule manifesto that Indonesia follows. It includes the process of a clergy attending to the prisoners, giving them a last chance to calm down for a maximum of three minutes before they are executed, as well as a doctor placing a black mark on the convict’s clothes to indicate where the heart is located. According to the rules, the firing squad commander places a black cloth over the prisoner’s eyes, but the prisoner may refuse this.

The manifest also includes the execution commander raising a sword “as a symbol for the firing squad to aim at the heart of the convict.” The firing squad commander shouts “laksanakan, laksanakan,” meaning “execute, execute” in Indonesian, as he gives the order to the squad. Three live rounds and nine blanks are loaded into the 12 rifles of the shooters.

Points 24 and 25 of the rules give specific instructions for doctors to check if the convict is still alive after the shooting. And if the convict still shows signs of live, the squad commander must shoot the convict to the temple just above the ear.

The Bali Nine ringleaders will be facing the firing squad in an unspecified date and time. They were scheduled to be taken from their current location of Kerobokan prion to Nusakambangan Island this week, but the government has announced the delay in the transport. Attorney General HM Prasetyo, meanwhile, said that the execution would certainly take place despite the delay.
