"
Schapelle Leigh Corby, a 27 year old Australian was traveling to Bali Indonesia to celebrate her sister's birthday. But her dream holiday ended up a waking nightmare when on October 8, 2004, Schapelle was arrested in the Denpassar airport after 4.2 kilograms of marijuana was found in her boogie-board bag.
Though completely innocent, Schapelle was forced to face the consequences of someone else's crime. Her fate would be decided on May 27 2005 in the Denpassar District Court.
Schapelle's trial and conviction became one of the biggest news stories of the decade in Australia. An entire nation watched in horror as she was sentenced to twenty years in jail. Despite legal appeals and a whole nation calling for her release, Schapelle Corby remains in the squalor of Kerobokan Prison [Bali]. Every day is a struggle for survival but Schapelle is determined in her fight for justice."

We the Undersigned are dedicated to raising awareness about Schapelle Corby's case, and her early release from prison for a crime she did not commit. We have mobilized globally so that you, the Indonesian Government, can hear our plea.
Schapelle has served enough time of the twenty year sentence and will hopefully be allowed to return back to her family in Australia.
We can only hope that you find it within your hearts and souls to forgive her for acts you believe had been committed and allow her to continue on with her, still young, life.
Thank you for taking the time to read our petition.
