DHAKA: An Australian convicted drug smuggler has married his girlfriend in an Indonesian prison ahead of his expected execution.

Andrew Chan married Febyanti Herewila on Monday in a ceremony attended by family and friends, reports the BBC.

Chan and Myuran Sukumaran, also Australian, were convicted in 2006.

The two, along with six other foreigners and an Indonesian, could be executed by firing squad as early as Tuesday.

They were formally notified on Saturday that they would be executed. Under Indonesian law, convicts must be given 72 hours’ notice of execution.

A French drug trafficker is appealing against his conviction.
