INDONESIA. DEATH PENALTY LIFTED FOR 3 AUSTRALIANS

three Australians in jail in Indonesia, members of the so-called ‘Bali Nine’ heroin smugglers, had their death sentences reduced to life in prison, their lawyer said. Indonesia's Supreme Court overturned the death penalty for Tan Nguyen, Si Yi Chen and Matthew Norman, Erwin Siregar told ABC Radio.
They were arrested on the Indonesian island of Bali on April 17, 2005, and originally sentenced to life in prison before the Supreme Court upgraded their punishment in 2006. The sentences were commuted after they filed a final appeal.
