Petition to save Schapelle Corby
Sign Now
save Australian citizen Schapelle Corby from death by firing squad in
Indonesia. 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 responsibly 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.
