#BoycottBali has started trending on Twitter, protesting the imminent execution of two Australians found guilty of attempting to smuggle drugs into Bali.
More about Myuran Sukumaran and Andrew Chan - the Australian Bali Nine ringleaders http://t.co/YWGGlAuaMQ
In 2006 Sukumaran and Chan, along with seven other Australians, who were later dubbed the "Bali Nine", were caught in Bali with 8.3kg of heroin. The other seven Australians are in prison with only Sukumaran and Chan facing the death penalty.
The tweets urged Australian tourists to cancel their holidays to the Indonesian island.
@IndonesiaAust please stop execution of Myuran and Andrew. This will impact how we view Indonesia forever. #IStandForMercy #boycottbali
@IndonesiaAust @INAEmbAUS I am one person who will never visit Indonedia while that country implements the death penalty #boycottbali
I will #boycottbali for the rest of my life should they murder our citizens. #bali9
I will never travel to a country that executes Australians. #boycottbali. Their blood will be on your hands @afpmedia.
The death penalty is not the answer. Bali will NEVER get my tourist dollars. #BoycottBali #Bali9
If ever there was another reason not to go to Bali, the all clear for the Sukumaran and Chan executions is it #Bali9 #boycottBali
The hashtag was then criticised by Indonesians, who posted photos of the island telling Australians they were terrible tourists.
The #boycottbali hashtag is being bombarded with Indonesians posting beautiful photos and telling Aussies what terrible tourists they are.
Many of the tweets said the island would be better off without the Australian tourists.
Smugglers are smugglers, send them to death. Let them #boycottbali and the road will be cleaner from the drunkers
Yes, Aussies, please #boycottbali. We'll keep the paradise island, you'll keep the continent of dangerous animals.
Thank you, if you do not come then the island of Bali will be clean #boycottbali
dear Australians, you say #boycottbali and I see this. say it again....
