Please take a moment to read and sign the following petition to help save Australian citizen Schapelle Corby from death by firing squad in Indonesia. Schapelle Corby has been detained in a Balinese prison and now awaits sentencing from a panel of judges on whether she will be committed to the death penalty, by a firing squad, for allegedly attempting to import four kilograms of cannabis into Indonesia. It is disgusting and barbaric in this day and age that a \'death penalty by firing squad\' law exists, and that an Australian citizen should be subject to it. This law is out-dated and inhumane, and considering that convicted terrorist Abu Bakar Bashir has only been sentenced to two years and six months jail (with the prospect of appeal) for his proven \'conspiracy\' participation in the Bali bombings that killed 183 people, in the same country, it is inconsistent and absurd that another person should face the death penalty for allegedly smuggling cannabis into the country. Furthermore, the Australian Government and airlines should be taking more responsibility for this incident in any case, since it is the fault of the Australian airlines/airport that the drugs even left Australia in the first place - which also leaves us to ponder on the security and possible internal corruption of staff working at Australian airports, in light of drug smuggling and terrorism. We the undersigned demand that the Australian Government, and Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, act responsibly to ensure that, innocent or guilty, Schapelle Corby is returned to Australia and that she does NOT face the \'death penalty by firing Squad\' in Indonesia.

I honestly cannot stop thinking about the absurdity of these sentencing gaps and how the whole thing feels like some kind of nightmare that just will not end. People keep sending me messages about the security failures at the airport and my head is spinning trying to connect all these dots while the silence from the officials is just deafening.

The drug syndicates at our airports are to blame here not her. She is being used as a scapegoat and the whole thing stinks.

This is just wrong. Death for pot? Seriously? People are getting way less time for actual murder. Let her come home to her family already.

BRING HER HOME. UNBELIEVABLE THAT THIS IS EVEN HAPPENING.
