Bali nine smugglers fight death sentences

Lawyers for convicted heroin smugglers Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran are appealing to Indonesia's Constitutional Court to quash their death sentences.

The two Australians are on death row in Bali.

The judicial review application argues Indonesia's constitution guarantees the right to life as a basic human right.

Four other Australians convicted in Bali with Chan and Sukumaran are also preparing appeals against their death penalties.

They are Scott Rush, Si Yi Chen, Tan Duch Thanh Nguyen and Matthew Norman.
