         Hello everyone,

       I don't normally like to forward emails like this but I feel really
sorry for Schapelle and I would absolutely hate to be in her shoes, so i
thought i may as well forward this to you. Hope you are all having an
amazing day!!

      Schapelle Corby has been detained in a Balinese prison and now awaits
sentencing from a panel of judges on whether she will be committed to the
death penalty, by a firing squad, for allegedly attempting to import four
kilograms of cannibis into Indonesia.

      It is disgusting and barbaric in this day and age that a 'death
penalty by firing squad' law exists, and that an Australian citizen should
be subject to it. This law is out-dated and inhumane, and considering that
convicted terrorist Abu Bakar Bashir has only been sentenced to two years
and six months jail (with the prospect of appeal) for his proven
'conspiracy' participation in the Bali bombings that killed 183 people, in
the same country, it is inconsistent and absurd that another person should
face the death penalty for allegedly smuggling cannibis into the country.

     Furthermore, the Australian Government and airlines should be taking
more responsibility for this incident in any case, since it is the fault of
the Australian airlines/airport that the drugs even left Australia in
the first place - which also leaves us to ponder on the security and
possible internal corruption of staff working at Australian airports, in
light of drug smuggling and terrorism.

     We the undersigned demand that the Australian Government, and
Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, act responsibily to ensure that,
innocent or guilty, Schapelle Corby is returned to Australia and that she
does NOT face the 'death penalty by firing Squad' in Indonesia.

     Instructions: Please number and place your name at the end of this
list. Then forward this email to all of your contacts who support basic
human rights and justice.

     If you are the 50th person on this list, please forward this email to
the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Alexander Downer, at
[log in to unmask] and then clear the list of names back to number
1, place your name there and forward to all of your contacts.

    Thankyou for your assistance in attempting to save Schapelle Corby.
