Lives turned upside down for Bali Nine and relatives
The recent shock announcement, that Indonesia plans to execute 4 more members of the Bali Nine, bringing the total to 6, has stunned a lot of people. The newly sentenced, Scott Rush, 20, Tan Duc Thanh Nguyen, 23, Si Yi Chen, 21, and Matthew Norman, 19, only heard about their change in fate, from the Australian media after a report dug through court records.
Not only is this new step crazy, is comparsion with other cases (Bali bombers, Bashir, Tommy Suharto etc.), its also crazy when considered in relation to the group as a whole. If Chan and Sukumaran were the kingpins / organizers, and Renae was one of the ‘recruiters’, having been on trips to Bali before with Chan, then how can young Scott Rush recieve the ultimate penalty? It seems all out of whack.
Lex Lasry QC, representing Chan and Sukumaran feels time is running out, and the sentences could be carried out within 2 years. A judicial review is possible, assuming there is some legal grounds. One Bali Nine mother, Robyn Davis, who son 19 year old Matthew Norman, is one of the death row additions, is to move to Bali to be with her son.

Well these bloody fools KNEW smuggling heroin was against the law both there and here. How about all the misery it would have caused HERE? I know as someone who has been involved for many years and seen so many die. You deserve to feel some of that misery whislt you wait the hangmans noose……I dont agree in death as a penalty but that is the law of that land. NO BODY should be buying his jewelery nor donating money. He was only after a fats busj and didnt give a damn about WHO he hurt doing it. NO PITY FOR ANY OF THEM, but may God have mercy on your sole!
THESE IDIOTS KNEW A FAST BUCK WAS A CHANCE, AND THEY DIDNT CARE ABOUT ALL THE MISERY THEY COULD HAVE CAUSED……….THEY DESERVE SOME MISERY OF THIER OWN…………
Serves them right. They KNEW what they were doing. And Australia and anyone else knows you cant shove your nose into other countries business with this ‘amnesty’ and ‘human rights’ crap.
Australia should bring back the death sentance…..and hang some evil-doers. a Public Hanging scares criminal wannabes from doing crime. and if it doesnt stop crime….well, the criminals dont learn do they….until they strangle on the rope that is.
Saddam was hanged…..George bush needs to be put on trial and hung now….he’s even more worse than anyone….he’s the real tyrant…and his death will stop ALL terrorist attacks since he and his ‘daddy’ started it all. if we get rid of him. Arabs and muslims will embrace us and call us friend for getting rid of the demon who poisoned our minds.
As for the bali 9….execute them all! they tried to smuggle poison that was meant for peoples veins which would kill them or make them criminals themselves.
Stop with the pussy ‘goody two shoes’ Life is a bitch….and Executions are sadly needed.
I don’t agree with what these guys did for a minute, but its easy enough for small minded people to say they deserve the death penalty, so those of you who do, do you really know what went on? Yeah they got caught tryin smuggle it, but do you really know what happened before, they might of been threatened, there are a lot of people who do do stuff because they are scared of what might happen to them or a loved one!! But hey some people don’t want to bother with the truth it would be too much for the small minded little T**ts, what about if it was somebody they loved/cared about would they be so quick to say they deserve the death penalty? But everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
One word in my view why this has occured - Papua
