Remaining Bali Nine members returned from Indonesia
ai generated text
The five remaining members of the Bali Nine drug ring have returned to Australia after serving nearly 20 years in Indonesian prison. This decision was made on humanitarian grounds, allowing them to commute the rest of their life sentences. The group's ringleaders, Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran, were executed in 2015.
We would like to convey our deep appreciation to the government of Indonesia for its cooperation to facilitate the men's return to Australia on humanitarian grounds.
I am pleased to confirm that Australian citizens, Si Yi Chen, Michael Czugaj, Matthew Norman, Scott Rush and Martin Stephens have returned to Australia this afternoon.
These Australians served more than 19 years in prison in Indonesia. It was time for them to come home.
Australia respects Indonesia's sovereignty and legal processes and we appreciate Indonesia's compassionate consideration of this matter.
