Indonesia has today given sentence remissions to 10 convicted people guilty of aiding and abetting the Kuta bombings in 2002 which killed 202 people. Indonesia hands out remissions across the board for criminals who show good behavior. Six men involved in the Oct. 12, 2002, terror strikes that claimed 202 lives – 88 of them Australians – had their sentences cut by five months, said Ilham Djaya, the chief warden at Bali’s main prison, citing good behavior. Four others convicted for the 2005 attacks that left 20 people dead received two month remissions, he said.
What kind of message this sends out is anyone’s guess, act savagely then behave yourself in jail maybe? As the Jakarta Post reports, evil Schapelle Corby did not get a remission because she was found using her cell phone in jail. Here’s more from the Jakarta Post.
Nice to see the powers that be have their priorities straight.
