  • 29Th April 2015 for IMMEDIATE RELEASE BALI EXECUTIONS A
    MEDIA RELEASE Date: 29th April 2015 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE BALI EXECUTIONS A BREACH OF HUMAN RIGHTS Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran were executed in the early hours of this morning, Australian time, along with six others. Their deaths are a tragedy. “The executions are a devastating blow to the families, and they are also a clear breach of international human rights law”, said Castan Centre for Human Rights Law Director, Professor Sarah Joseph. “Capital punishment is not permitted for drug offences under international law”, said Professor Joseph. Indonesia’s President Joko Widodo flagged in December 2014 that he would not grant clemency to anyone on death row for drug-related offenses. “By making a blanket decision to refuse clemency, the President failed to consider the individual requests for pardon. He therefore ignored compelling individual circumstances, such as the remarkable rehabilitation of Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran, and the serious mental illness of Brazilian Rodrigo Gularte. Everyone is entitled to individual consideration of a plea of clemency for their life.” said Professor Joseph. “The executions of the two Australians took place despite allegations of serious corruption during their trial. Indonesia has known of these allegations for months, and has conducted no credible investigation”, said Professor Joseph. “Any taint of corruption renders the trial unfair, and the sentence a gross breach of the right to life.” “Court proceedings also remain pending for them, and several of the other executed men. This is an utter failure in due process, with the worst of consequences.” “One mercy is the eleventh hour sparing of Filipina Mary Jane Fiesta Veloso, after her alleged trafficker turned herself in to authorities in the Philippines.” Chan and Sukumaran were originally arrested after the Indonesian National Police were tipped off by the Australian Federal Police.

  • Urgent Action
    Further information on UA: 305/14 Index: ASA 21/1492/2015 Indonesia Date: 22 April 2015 URGENT ACTION EXECUTIONS FEARED FOR END OF APRIL The Indonesian Attorney General announced that the execution of 10 prisoners might be carried out after the Asia-Africa Conference, end of April. On 9 April Indonesian Attorney General HM Prasetyo made a statement implying that his office may carry out the executions of 10 prisoners after the Asia-Africa Conference, which is being held between 19 and 24 April in the Indonesian city of Bandung. Although the final list of those facing executions has yet to be announced, the death row prisoners facing imminent executions are believed to include Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran (both Australian, males), Raheem Agbaje Salami (Nigerian, male), Mary Jane Fiesta Veloso (Filipino, female), Zainal Abidin (Indonesian, male), Martin Anderson, alias Belo (Ghanaian, male), Rodrigo Gularte (Brazilian, male), Sylvester Obiekwe Nwolise (Nigerian, male), Okwudili Oyatanze (Nigerian, male) and one other individual. All 10 were sentenced to death for drug trafficking, an offense that does not meet the threshold of the “most serious crimes” for which the death penalty may be imposed under international law. Indonesian President Joko Widodo rejected their clemency applications in December 2014 and January 2015. The lawyers for Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran have filed a legal challenge at the Constitutional Court questioning the Indonesian president's process of refusing to pardon them from the death penalty. Rodrigo Gularte has been diagnosed as having paranoid schizophrenia and bipolar disorder with psychotic characteristics, an illness which has deteriorated while he has been on death row.

    2015/08: The Bali duo: should Indonesia execute foreign nationals con... file:///C:/dpfinal/schools/doca2015/2015bali9/2015bali9.php 2015/08: The Bali duo: should Indonesia execute foreign nationals convicted of drug smuggling? What they said... 'Jokowi is seen as pursuing populism to strengthen his position with the legislature' Barry Jones, Professorial Fellow at University of Melbourne 'There's no forgiveness for drug dealers' President Joko Widodo The issue at a glance On April 25, 2015, Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran, two Australians convicted of drug trafficking in Indonesia, were told that they could be executed within 72 hours. The two were part of a group, generally known as the Bali Nine, who arrested on 17 April 2005 in Denpasar, Bali, Indonesia, for planning to smuggle 8.3 kg of heroin valued at around A$4 million (3.1 million from Indonesia to Australia. In February 2006 Chan and Sukumaran, as the group ringleaders, were sentenced to death by firing squad. Despite appeals against their sentences and an appeal to the Indonesian president, Joko Widodo, for clemency, the executions appear likely to go ahead. There have been representations made on behalf of the two men from the Australian Prime Minister, Tony Abbott, the Australian foreign minister, Julie Bishop, and many others to have the men be granted clemency. Each man is acknowledged to have made remarkable changes in his life while in prison, with one now an artist and the other a pastor. The men's impending deaths have raised major questions about the value of the death penalty and the limits of diplomacy.

  • Further Written Submission to the Human Rights Sub-Committee Of
    Further written submission to the Human Rights Sub-Committee of the Joint Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade – inquiry into Australia’s advocacy for the abolition of the death penalty Dr Amy Maguire, University of Newcastle Law School 8 March 2016 Introduction I appeared before the Sub-Committee hearing on 27 November 2015. The Sub- Committee requested that I make a further written submission. I have had correspondence with Nathan Fewkes, research officer, to clarify how written submissions are dealt with. Along with a co-author, Shelby Houghton, I have recently had an article accepted for publication in the journal Current Issues in Criminal Justice. I hope to be able to put this article forward for consideration by the Sub-Committee, but am required to make some revisions and collaborate with the Editor to have the manuscript proof-read, edited and typeset. I anticipate that this process will be complete by the end of April or start of May, and have a plan in place with the Editor to ensure this timeframe. The Editor is happy for me to submit the article for the Sub-Committee’s consideration as soon as this process has been completed (which will be two-three months prior to the journal appearing in print). In the meantime, Mr Fewkes advised that I could submit some previously published materials for the Sub-Committee’s consideration. Below I set out the reference list from our forthcoming article. I have highlighted those sources which I have provided in soft copy by email. In a separate document, I will include the short articles I have recently published online in relation to death penalty abolition.

  • Jail Birds-Text-02Pp.Indd
    THE GIRL FROM WALLSEND Renae Lawrence’s Story IN AUSTRALIA, prisoners don’t have access to mobile phones or email, so you can imagine my surprise a few years ago when I received an email, ‘sent from my Blackberry’, from an address that sounded like a Thai meal. I nearly didn’t open it, as the Nigerian bank scam was in full swing at the time, and I was being deluged with emails promising ‘winnings from World Lottery’ and urgent messages about huge money transfers from Western Union. When I did open the message, I found it had come from Renae Lawrence, who was four years into a twenty-year sentence in Kerobokan jail in Bali. Renae was the only female in a group of nine Australian youngsters who were arrested carrying bags of heroin strapped to their bodies at Bali’s Ngurah Rai airport on Sunday 17 April 2005, as they attempted to return to Australia. They became known around the world as the Bali Nine. They were a motley crew. Renae was short and stocky, 161 JAIL BIRDS with cropped dark hair, an eyebrow ring and an eye-catching tropical shirt. In Australia, she’d stand out in a crowd, but every second tourist in Bali was wearing one. All the boys with her – Scott Rush, Martin Stephens and Michael Czugaj – were wearing similar bright, loose shirts – the sort of garment that looks great when you’re on holidays, but cringeworthy when you put it on at home. Most of them become dusters or are saved for use as dress-ups at milestone birthday barbecues.
