Remaining members of Australian ‘ Bali Nine ’ drug ring say ‘relieved and happy’ to be home after 19 years in Indonesia prison
“The five men are relieved and happy to be back in Australia,” said a statement released on behalf of the men, their families and their lawyers. The case drew global attention to Indonesia’s unforgiving drug laws, with two of the gang executed by firing squad, while the others served hefty prison sentences.
The men now need “time and support” for their welfare, the statement said, asking media and the community to make allowance for this.Australian public broadcaster ABC said the men did not have to serve further prison time but had agreed voluntarily to continue their rehabilitation. Muslim-majority Indonesia has some of the world’s toughest drug laws, including the death penalty for traffickers.
