Indonesian Pastor Marries Australian Drug Convict, Chan, One Day Before Execution



The 31-year-old married Indonesian pastor Febyanti Herewila, whom he met several years ago when she began counselling inmates at a prison on the resort Island of Bali, where he was held before being transferred to Nusakambangan. 

His brother, Michael Chan, said a priest was present at the ceremony, and that the groom had been celebrating on Monday night with his new wife. 



“They have had a celebration inside the prison this afternoon, with close family and friends,” Michael said.
“It was an enjoyable moment. We would just like to celebrate that with him tomorrow as well. 

“It’s tough times, but happy times at the same time. So hopefully the president will still show some compassion, some mercy so these two young people can carry on with their lives.” Chan is among nine drug convicts expected to be executed as early as Tuesday, in spite of diplomatic disputes and international protests.
