elatives of the Bali Nine death-row convicts Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran have been to Nusakambangan prison island in Central Java to visit the men for the first time since their transfer last week from Bali.

Myuran'€™s mother Raji Sukumaran and his siblings Brintha and Chintu Sukumaran were among the group that visited Sukumaran.

Andrew'€™s elder brother Michael Chan told journalists at the entrance to the Wijaya Pura Dock in Cilacap that they had not met for several days and hoped they could meet again on Nusakambangan.

'€œReally, we wish to meet Andrew immediately. We wish to make clear to both of them, before parting forever, that we all love them deeply,'€ said Michael, who arrived on Nusakambangan with his mother Helen.

The families of the men were accompanied by representatives from the Australian Consulate, who have been in Cilacap for three days.

As of Monday, no official statement had been issued on the execution schedule for the Bali Nine duo or other death-row convicts.
