The Bali Nine convicted drug dealers including four Nigerians were tied to crosses with cable ties before being shot by a 12-member firing squad on Tuesday. All eight men refused to wear blind-folds as they spent their last minutes of life praying, praising God and singing songs including Amazing Grace, according to the pastors who were with them in their final hours.
According to a priest that was present, he said;
The executed men said farewell to the guards who were in tears (some of them). He explained that the men's hands were cuffed behind their backs and they were shackled. They were helped into the back of a police van, sitting in the middle of the back seat with a police officer on either side of them.
'When they were being put on the cross for execution they were singing on the crosses and we were in a tent not too far away from the execution place trying to support them,'
Another pastor, Karina de Vega, said it was a 'beautiful experience'. 'It was breathtaking. This was the first time I witnessed someone so excited to meet their God,' Pastor de Vega said.
