FED:Rush's parents head to Bali for appeal

SYDNEY, Aug 9 AAP - The parents of convicted Bali Nine drug smuggler Scott Rush are
heading to Indonesia on Monday, ahead of next week's appeal against his death sentence.

Rush's father Lee has told ABC Radio his son's lawyers will argue Scott was a courier
and not the mastermind of the 2005 drug haul.

Mr Rush says there'll be an appearance by Scott and a reading of new evidence when
his case heads back to court next Wednesday, and then a delay from prosecution until information
is gathered and sent to the Supreme Court in Jakarta.

The Queenslander was one of four Australians arrested at Bali's Denpassar Airport with
heroin strapped to their bodies, three of whom are on death row.
