Bali Nine: Officials expect Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran to be moved for executions this week

Authorities in Bali expect two Australian drug smugglers to be moved to another island this week in preparation for their executions.

The two members of the Bali Nine drug smuggling group, Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran, had their executions delayed last month.

So far no timeframe announced for the executions has been stuck to, but the attorney-general indicated all that was left was a final check of preparations at Nusa Kambangan island prison before word was given to move the men.

Chief prosecutor Momock Bambang Samiarso, who coordinates the transfer, said the island was ready and he had been ordered to move the men this week.

The elite police unit BRIMOB, which will handle security, and the prison managers are on standby for when the order comes through.

Lawyers for Chan and Sukumaran are still attempting a legal appeal, but the government is effectively ignoring that, saying nothing can stop the executions.

President Joko Widodo has again lashed out at foreign intervention over the death penalty in Indonesia.

Mr Widodo warned a room full of high school students about the dangers of drugs and reiterated his commitment to show no mercy to drug offenders.

"About drugs, please be careful. Now there are more or less 50 people from our generation who die because of drugs, 50 per day," he said.

Those figures are disputed, but the president has been using them to justify his tough line on drugs and he rallied students for support.

"Do you agree drug dealers should be punished to death?" he asked the students.

"Agree!" they replied.

A respected local newspaper, Kompas, has published a survey in which 75 per cent of respondents supported the president's stance on the death penalty and for refusing to back down, despite pressure from foreign countries.

Those who conducted the survey insisted their methodology had a 3.8 per cent margin of error, but they only contacted 1,000 people in 12 cities and only 652 people agreed to be polled.

The survey was hardly representative of Indonesia's 250 million citizens, but local media has been promoting the government's so-called war on drugs and over the past decade support for the death penalty has sat around 70 per cent.
