I have followed this story from the beginning, I'm in the UK and have been obsessed about it, I've watched every video and got the book which was really good. I have had 2 nephews that died through heroine abuse so see this from both sides. They were mostly very young people and very naive but they knew what they were doing. Young people really don't think about the future but they will have known what the future held if they got caught. After saying that I do feel they have paid for their crime, I feel they would never do anything wrong again. I really feel for their families, they have done nothing wrong and have gone through hell, some had their windows put through and been bullied, what they have gone through they don't deserve and they still love their children. I feel the death penalty was very sad and yes that is the law of Indonesia but I do feel they were changed men. People never learn though and still traffic drugs, there are people on death row in countries round the world that give the death penalty for smuggling drugs.
When you visit another country, you are subject to their laws,penalties & legal system.9 people are 100 % at fault here. They committed a crime ,while on Indonesian soil.Therefore they suffer Indonesian penalties. Too late to say they are reformed they must pay the price. Consider the lives of the young people those drugs would have destroyed.

The AFP could have arrested the Bali 9 upon their return to Australia.
