Global appeals to stay the executions and commute the sentences to life term would likely be ignored by Indonesia for the 10 people on death row even if it would cause diplomatic tensions. It has gone through the same route a few months ago.

In January, Indonesia executed several convicted drug smugglers, including a Brazilian pilot, which led Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff to reject the new Indonesian.

The firing squad executions are expected to begin on Tuesday, following the issuance of 72-hour notices by Jakarta on 10 convicted drug smugglers.

Those scheduled to be executed include Australians Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran, Filipina Mary Jane Veloso and French national Sergei Atlaoui.

CNN reports that only nine have been given the 72-hour notice, excluding Atlaoui who filed on Thursday a challenge before the State Administrative Court to delay the sentence.

Veloso's lawyer claimed she was not aware that the suitcase she was carrying had drugs inside since she was set up by a drug syndicate. However, Manila has not threatened any diplomatic or economic sanction over Veloso's execution because of the country's heavy dependence on foreign exchange sent by Filipino overseas workers to boost its economy.

French President Francois Hollande warned of consequences if Atlaoui would be executed, while Australia hinted of sanctions or diplomatic consequences.

"We are working with other countries, Australia and Brazil, to multiply our actions and make sure there won't be any execution," Bloomberg quotes Hollande who will meet with Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott on Monday.

In a bid to save Chan and Sukumaran, Abbott even offered a prisoner swap, but Indonesian President Joko Widodo turned down the offer. Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop filed another appeal, stressing that the two have been rehabilitated the past 10 years and are "genuinely remorseful" for their $9.47 billion as of June 2014.

UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon joined the growing number of global leaders calling for the use of death penalty only for the most heinous crimes, which include drug-related offences.

Jakarta advised consular officials on Friday to go to Nusa Kambangan where the 10 have been moved for the firing squad.
