Forgive convicted Australians

Forgive convicted Australians

Indonesia should have mercy on the nine Australians arrested
for attempting to traffic heroin from Bali to Australia.

These young people have made a mistake in their lives and now
they face the consequences of their deed.

However, these young lives should be spared. God forgives
humans for our sins and mistakes, and I think the Indonesian
judiciary needs to bear this in mind. The loud statement issued
by Indonesian lawyers through the media, that the death penalty
is the penalty of drug trafficking, is now known all over
Australia and New Zealand.

The governments have announced it through the media. I think
young Australians and New Zealanders have learned to recognize
the fatal risks of such acts.

Can we just forgive these young lives and allow them to
rehabilitate their lives?
