Family, friends to spend time with Nguyen

"Family and friends of Australian drug smuggler Van Nguyen are planning to spend as much time as they can with him with just four days until his scheduled execution.

"Nguyen's friends Bronwyn Lew and Kelly Ng will see the 25-year-old Melbourne man this morning briefly with extended visits allowed from tomorrow.

"Ms Lew hopes Australians will continue calling for clemency.

"'Van does not deserve to die and hopefully that message will make a difference at some point, whether it's in the next few days or the next few years,' she said."
