British comedian Russell Brand has tweeted his support for saving Australians Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran from an Indonesian firing squad.
Saturday's tweets from Russell Brand (@rustyrockets) read:
The tweet includes a link to the website of the campaign for mercy for the convicted drug traffickers, where video interviews of the pair can be viewed and a petition signed.
Brand is well known for his outspoken views on politics and human rights and in February blasted Australia's policy of using offshore migrant detention centres.
Chan and Sukumaran's fight to avoid execution last week moved to Indonesia's constitutional court after they lost a bid to challenge their clemency rejections in the state administrative court.
The pair's lawyers on Thursday sought a constitutional court review to make clear the president's obligations on considering clemency.
Attorney-General HM Prasetyo has dismissed the latest challenge as delaying tactics and says he won't recognise it.
Jakarta is now just waiting on the legal efforts of a few other death row prisoners before setting an execution date.
The Sydney men are now imprisoned on Central Java's Nusakambangan island, where Indonesia plans to execute them by firing squad.
