Indonesia drug traffickers sang praise to God before execution

The 8 condemned drug traffickers (Here) sang praises to God as they walked to face the firing squad on an Indonesian prison island. Tearful onlookers also joined them in the song.

The convicts which includes two Australians, one Brazilian, four Nigerians and one Indonesian made the long journey from their cells to clearings on a prison island to meet their fate early Wednesday.

But rather than bow their heads in defeat and resignation, the convicts all reportedly refused blindfolds and raised their voices in song, including "Amazing Grace", until the gunfire from the firing squads rang out.
