( CNN ) Indonesia has a tough stance on drug smugglers , and since assuming office in October , President Joko Widodo has made it clear he intends to show no mercy toward those found guilty of such crimes . That tough stance casts a further pall on two Australian drug smugglers , part of the so-called `` Bali Nine . '' They are waiting to learn whether they will be put to death by firing squad after an Indonesian court rejected a last ditch effort to gain clemency from Widodo on Monday . April marks a decade on death row for Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran for their part in a failed heroin smuggling plot . The 31-year-old Chan has been called the ringleader and 33-year-old Sukumaran has been described as his collaborator . The seven others who took part in the operation are serving lengthy prison sentences for trafficking the drugs . The members of the Bali Nine were arrested after Indonesian police received a tip from Australian Federal Police . Four members of the group were caught at Denpasar International Airport with more than 8 kilograms of heroin strapped to their bodies . Four others , including Sukumaran , were arrested at a hotel in the village of Kuta . Although he was n't carrying any drugs , Chan was detained after boarding a plane to Sydney . He was named by others as the mastermind of the smuggling plot . While the purported ringleaders have received media attention for years , the other seven members of the Bali Nine have rarely been in the spotlight . Here 's a quick look at the other members of the group : . Scott Rush . Indonesian prosecutors asked for and received a sentence of life in prison for several of the Bali Nine , who were identified as drug couriers in the operation . That includes Scott Rush of Brisbane , Australia . Rush was 19 when he was captured in Indonesia . He was arrested at Denpasar Airport with more than 1 kilogram of heroin strapped to his body . Michael Czugaj . Life in prison was the original sentence for 29-year-old Michael Czugaj , also of Brisbane . Nineteen at the time of his arrest , Czugaj is one of five of the Bali Nine whose sentence was reduced to 20 years in prison , then reinstated at life again . During his trial , Czugaj testified he was lured into the drug scheme with the promise of a free holiday to Bali . He was quoted in news reports as saying his life was threatened , as well as his family 's , if he refused to cooperate with the heroin smuggling operation . Tan Duc Thanh Nguyen . Tan Duc Thanh Nguyen from Brisbane , who is now 31 , was one of four drug couriers in the case . He was found in a hotel room on Bali 's Kuta Beach with a small amount of heroin and drug paraphernalia . Si Yi Chen and Matthew Norman . The others are Si Yi Chen , 30 and Matthew Norman , 28 , both from Sydney . Foreignprisoners.com quotes Chen as saying he deeply regrets his actions and did not mean to hurt others , especially his family . Norman is quoted on the same website expressing remorse for his actions and hopes that people back home , `` do n't judge me too harshly . '' He says he has two sisters including a twin . Foreignprisoners.com is run by Foreign Prisoner Support Service , a nonprofit organization based in South Africa . Martin Stephen and Rena Lawrence . The same website details information about Martin Stephens , now 39 , and the only woman in the Bali Nine , 37-year-old Renae Lawrence . Stephens was a former bartender from Towradgi , a suburb of Wollongong in New South Wales . He claims he was forced to travel to Bali and take part in the drug smuggling operation after death threats against his family . Lawrence , from Newcastle in New South Wales , Australia , was arrested with heroin strapped to her body . She claims Chan threatened her life if she did not take part in the scheme . During her court appeal , Lawrence apologized to Indonesia for her actions . Her original life sentence was also reduced to 20 years . During a court appearance in 2006 , Chan denied threatening anyone . He told the Denpasar District Court before his sentencing in February of that year : `` A lot of lies have been said against me , but the true reality is I 'm not what people put me out to be . I 've never threatened anybody in my life . '' The Denpasar District Court also dismissed claims that Chan made threats against Lawrence and Rush when the two were sentenced in 2006 . Australia has repeatedly called for clemency for Chan and Sukumaran . Foreign Minister Julie Bishop said Monday , `` The Government is disappointed at today 's decision by the State Administrative Court of Jakarta to reject the appeals of Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran . We understand that the legal team for Mr. Chan and Mr. Sukumaran is considering other legal options . '' In a news release posted to the Australian government 's website , Bishop cited the `` extensive rehabilitation '' both men have undergone and said she will continue to appeal to her counterpart while Australia continues to `` use all diplomatic options to seek a stay of execution . ''
