This is one of the saddest injustices I have witnessed. I am outraged at our government for expecting the Australian public to simply accept this. BRING HER HOME
As a concerned Kiwi I am signing your petition to bring Schapelle home ASAP.Her incasaration is lunacy and these people in Indonesia need to tidy up their back yard before they convict innocent people.
The Indonesian Legal System probably is fair. However, a judge who has convicted every one of his 500 odd cases does show himself to be fair & impartial, but rather one who convicts to show to his government that he is doing his job. It is blatantly clear that Schapelle is innocent. She has all the demeanour of one who has not committed a crime. Please bring her home and set her free. And please bring together the Federal Police, the Federal Airports Corporation and all the airlines to conduct a full enquiry into the baggage handlers issues. The practice of using innocent travellers' baggage as drugs transport should be viciously and forcefully stamped out.
I was outraged at the verdict. My thoughts & prayers are with Corby & her family. I will do a boycott & I hopenthe PM learns to be a man. That is disgusting what he has done.
USA stands by our Australian friends. I will not support any Indonesian business. My fiance' and I had planned to honeymoon in Indonesia to help their businesses recover from the Tsunami disaster. We will now be honeymooning in Rome.
As i watched CNN today during my lunch hour i was outraged as i heard the vertic. I will do anything to help. I hope Schapelle knows that our thoughts and prayers are with her and that justice will be served... Let Schapelle go home where she belongs...xoxoxox
I am shocked upset and more then a little angry by the injustice perpetrated upon Schapelle by the Indonesian gov't. I also find the comments by the Aus PM hard to swallow, when he says there is nothing he can do. How about urging everybody to boycott Indonesia and any products from there until Schapelle is given justice and not blind and malicious prosecution. If the Aus PM cannot protect and support the people he is "serving", perhaps its time for him to step aside and allow somebody who is not intimadeted by Indonesian prosecutors. To top it all off it now appears the prosecution will appeal? How is it possible that convicted bomber/murderer gets 2 years in jail for taking so many innocent lives, yet this young lady and many more like her face long prison sentences and perhaps even worse fates. I am outraged to the point that I am planning to start a boycott of Indonesia and products from Indonesia until they show me that human lives are more important then their own anti Marijuana agenda. In closing I would like to let the Corby family and especially Schapelle know that they are in my thoughts and prayers and wish them a quick and happy resolution to this outrageous injustice.
I call on all SURFERS, all AMERICANS, all HERBALISTS, all EUROPEANS, all JAPANESE and HAWAIIANS, all FREEDOM LOVERS to BOYCOTT BALI & INDONESIA!!!
Please send these boycott notes to your representatives & google "Boycott Bali"... then "cc" or fwd. your messages to the Indonesian embassies!
This way we will pressure this oppressive Theocracy into a civilized diplomatic resolution. Our people must have the same standards of JUSTICE wherever they may travel! If this were an AMERICAN, we would be calling for military intervention!
Death sentences for possession of herbs? What kind of witch-burning madness is plaguing this world?
Pledge your economic influence, because this is what despots fear the most, unless they are are completely mad.
Stop blaming John Howard, think outside the square and realise that he is trying to do everything he can in this situation. This is not our PM's fault, its a simple injustice that has tragically gone wrong. Lets look into ways to help her out of this situation and not blaming, this is not what she wants at this traumatic time.
I myself am a young women travelling and feel so much for this young girl. I will do everything I can (possibly from London) to help this women in the prime of her life get back to Australia.
Lets Inpeach the PM,how can he stand there and say it fair when 80 Australian were killed and the person walks in 2 years
But innocent get 20 years.
Mr PM,you know better,dont let them walk all over you,take a stand.
Let her come home to her love ones.
If she not home,it will be the last time i vote for you and your party, it just wrong,plan wrong.
This message is for the goverment of Indonesia: "Place yourself in Schapelle Corby's shoes, imaging your son/daughter/wife/husband or family member traveling to a foreign country and being at the mercy of another country's criminals, finding yourself alone and afraid away from your familly and friends...If you still feel that she is guilty then look at yourself into the mirror and see what we call the criminals of the world."
How have previous traffickers responded when the decision was handed down to them in an Indo court?? With some sort of acceptance if they were guilty, I presume.But, yesterday I seen a girl emotionally and physically tortured. Innocence and sincerity were written all over her.Now, I`m a lover of animmals, and I would never stand by and watch even an animal tolerate this sort of intimidation and worldly injustice.To scope the degree of our outrage, apparently there is now a contract out the lives of those judges.
Bali bomber gets 3 years and a innocent Australian get 20 years.
Act of war,send in the troops,send in the SAS,we did it in Iraq
Johnny, your a true wimp, unAustralian,stand up and grow some balls,tell them to bring her home,take away my tax money that we gave them
We will not forget at the next vote
The goverment should do more to help Schapelle if it was your daughter Mr Howard you would have done every thing you could and your daughter woukd have been home.You couldnt even right a proper letter to help Schaplle ypu are a disgace to all Australians and can you ever sleep at night.
Maybe Schappelle should have been a Bali bomber then she would be home in two years or so. Where is the sense in their so called justice? Free this innocent young lady and give life sentences to the real criminals such as the Bali bombers and ther insane groups.
I hate to believe that she's guilty but I cannot bring myself to accept that 3 highly intelligent,
experienced and respected men of the law can arrive at their decision to convict Ms Corby without careful and trained consideration. I do not believe they get any joy from convicting foreigners of drug crimes. This is the overwhelming public feeling but it is a myth. They could only act on the evidence presented to them by the prosecution and defence. They are not responsible for the circumstances surrounding the allegation.
My heart goes out to Schapelle regardless of her guilt or innocence.
The hardest thing in a case such as this is to the remove the emotion. I,like probably most of you do not know the facts and have not nearly the understanding of this case as the Judges. I'd be kidding myself if I believed my opinion was even nearly as qualified as the men who have presided over this case for the past few months.
I sincerely wish Schapelle the best and hope she finds the strength to deal with the situation she has now found herself in.
WE BELIEVE IN YOU SCHAPPELLE. ONLY YOU KNOW FOR SURE ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED BUT I BELIEVE IN MY HEART THAT YOU ARE INNOCENT AND I PRAY FOR YOU TO BE RETURNED HOME WITH NO CONVICTION AGAINST YOU. BE STRONG SCHAPPELLE, ALL OF AUSTRALIA IS WITH YOU AND WITH SO MUCH PRAYER IN YOUR FAVOUR HOW CAN WE GO WRONG.
From a NZ viewpoint - the very idea of this happening is abhorent.
Is there any chance we can get America involved in this - then we can blow that shitty little country out of existance.
After Sharpelle is extracted of course.
Sounds a little over the top - well - thats whats happening at the moment.
And well-meaning words dont seem to be doing a damn thing to help an innocent girl return home to her family.
This has blatantly been a case of "Guilty until proven innocent." No one there has "Proven" her guilt.
Release her.
And as for the rest of the world - please condemn Indonesia, and Boycott it in every way possible.
Oh - and Mr Bush - if u could spare a Seal Team...
Such countries are too harsh in these respects. To hell with coddling their brutal outlook. I hope Ms. Corby's government/protectorsteps in immediately! The Indonesian gov. largely treat their citizens like garbage and now they are trying to frame yet another innocent from outside their realm. For how vengeful this government is, it is one of the most internally corrupt. Why should such a woman die in their hands? There is a point to which we must respect foreign law, but not in this case.
Schapelle is young, beautiful and innocent! She doesn't deserve to be rotting in a hell hole! Let the girl be free! Lock up the scum that did this!She is INNOCENT!
Time to get real people she was guilty the second they pulled the pot out of her bag !!! Either aussie govenment needs to pay someone off in the bali government or, like us in the good ol US of A invade bali....
Just plain injustice by a primate legal system...we want her back and we want it NOW...God is the only one authorised to take a life in the first place...20 years may sound more lenient, but, alas, not acceptable
Bring her home
The PM has her life in his hands,show some balls and do something,this is not the thanks we want for giving 1 bil in aid.
We are figthing for her in the USA,We are Emailing Cable news to pick up on this,sofar CCN and Fox have it number 1
Schapelle Corby keep strong,we will get you out
Please bring our ozzie home. she is obviously innocent listening to the evidence during the handing down of the verdict. I am disgusted with indonesian judges, and reserved on commenting on our own governments comments to accept the decision by the judges...apeal...apeal to the governor of indonesia, i feel confident schapelle will be granted pardon.
What has happened to Schappelle is an absolute disgrace. Can you imagine how she must be feeling waking up in that cage today? I dont know how john howard and the Australian government can sleep at night, Im sure it would be a different kettle of fish if it was his daughter. Someone has to step up and do something about this outrageous injustice. My heart brakes for you Schapelle, truth and justice will prevail.
San Diego Ca says that she got a raw deal. I will never travel there. They have no problem giving 3 years to a terrorist bomber but a drug smugller gets 20 years, crap!
My husband and I are world travellers but we would never consider spending money in a country where you can kill dozens in a bombing and get 30 months but a young woman gets 20 years with no evidence. Disgusting!
She most likly did it, but she should at least be able to serve her sectence at home. Bali would would save a lot of money over 20 years and she would still serve her time.
They should be ashamed of themselves.She is obviously innocent!! All the help that I'm sure Australia gave them when the wave hit and they are acting like this!! BRING HER HOME!! FREE HER!!!
Now a days the world is so full of bad minded people, selfish, negative influences, who don't care the harm they cause.
Not only Goverments, but each one of us must do something to protect our selfs, help one another.
Any one with information must help, even if they believe its little but it may make a difference.
From Venezuela
Shameful injustice. There have been stories of travelers being set up like this everywhere, how horrible that it is no longer safe to travel this beautiful world without the worry of loosing your freedom. The US will outrage and they are fools if they can't see the economic impact this ruling will have on their country. Our prayers are with you and yours Schapelle. Seattle WAshington, USA
First, the Indonesian Govt. is slack with terrorist extremist groups, that murdered hundreds of innocents. Now, they turn a blind eye to organized crime and corruption, and instead are jailing innocent foreign citizens. The Australian Government should be appauled and stand up for the common citizen.
This is a total injustice to a young Australian woman and the Australian people, NO Justice or compassion has been shown to this young girl.Words from Schapelle Corby the justice system has believed the words of a BLOODY LIAR. Hope he rots in hell
