The ambulances with the coffins arrived. So did the firing squad. At midnight, nine non-violent convicted drug offenders were led from their cells at Batu prison on Nusakambangan island, Indonesia's island of death. They are now being driven into the heart of the the jungle and taken up a 3km steep winding track to a killing field called Tunggal Panaluan.

Once they arrive, they will be given three minutes to collect themselves. A cloth will be placed over their hearts. Their hands and feet will be tied. They will be placed against a wooden pole or chair (if they choose to sit) and blindfolded upon request. 12 police officers from BRIMOB will take aim. 9 have blanks, 3 have live rounds. They will shoot. If the shots don't kill them (and leave them writhing in pain), in accordance with Indonesian law, an officer will approach to shoot them behind the ear.

How they spent the last night: Australian Myuran Sukumaran painted four final paintings.

The second to last was a self portrait with a hole in his heart.

The last painting was the heart, dangling from its arteries and entitled "Satu hati satu rasa didalam cinta - (one heart, one feeling in love)".

The other inmates facing execution signed the back.

These are the 9 non-violent drug offenders who are being killed as I write this. Their stories are here.

Mary Jane Fiesta Veloso, a poor Filipina woman and mother of two was convicted of trafficking 2.6 kilos of heroin. Her government made three appeals to Indonesia to save her and says she was a victim of human trafficking by a drug syndicate. Her mother and sons visited this morning.

Martin Anderson, originally believed to be Ghanian, is most likely Nigerian, but no one is positive. His offense involved 50 grams of heroin. He has had no consular representation and no visitors in 11 years.

Zainal Albidin, the lone Indonesian in the group, was convicted of trafficking 58.7 kilograms of pot. He was sentenced to life, and the court later changed it to death.

Rodrigo Gularte (Brazil) was convicted of smuggling six kilograms of cocaine into Jakarta. He has suffered from paranoid schizophrenia since he was a teenager. His lawyer said he was unable to discuss his case with counsel.

Frenchman Serge Atlaoui will not be executed tonight, only because of a court issue. He will be executed by himself, before the next group (yes, there are more executions of drug traffickers after this group. Not counting Veloso, there are 49 more.)

Crowds have gathered as close as the police will permit. They are singing Hallelujah.

Who is responsible for the carnage Indonesia will cause tonight? One man. Indonesia President Joko Widodo who has stubbornly refused to reconsider his refusal to grant clemency, despite pleas from Government and religious leaders and ordinary citizens all over the world.

We have rights too, including the right never to step foot in Indonesia or on Bali or to buy anything that says "Made in Indonesia."

There are beautiful beaches all over the world. Please do not give Bali or Indonesia your tourist dollars. Visit the Seychelles, Mauritius, Fiji or the Maldives instead, where the government does not kill non-violent drug offenders.

R.I.P. Myuran Sukumaran, Andrew Chan, Martin Anderson, Silvester Obikwe, Rodrigo Gularte, Raheem Agbaje Salami, Okwudili Oyatanze, and Zainal Abidin.

Boycott Bali. Boycott Indonesia.
