Boycott Bali!

In regards to the Schapelle Corby trial in Bali, Indonesia, I, like many people in Australia and in the world, have been watching intensely the outcome of this very serious and sad matter. The verdict and trial were a disgrace to justice.

This young woman was innocent of trafficking drugs from Australia to Bali. The evidence given against her was an atrocity, while for the defense, their evidence was dismissed.

I call on all people of God throughout the world to boycott Bali and Indonesia, and all companies and corporate bodies who visit Indonesia to rethink their involvement with Indonesia.

People may believe that the Indonesian government (judicial system) took strong action against the Bali bombers, but compared to the sentence handed down on Corby, it is like a garden party where so many lives were lost.

Let the Indonesian government know of your displeasure. As for the Australia lawyers who voiced their opinion on the verdict given to Corby stating it was inevitable, and the Indonesian judges could not do otherwise: Go back to law school! I ask you: If this were your daughter what would you do?
