"To the Indonesian Government,
Please show the world you can give mercy and compassion
to this young lady. It is far better to give her the benefit
of the doubt especially when the death penalty is involved.
Her death will not stop the drug trade and will only outrage
the rest of the world. Take the lead and be the first government
to restore some sanity to this insane world." John,
Phoenix, AZ, USA

"We can't let such
an injustice occur in this world! We must do something!"
Kris, Unknown
"It's amazing how one insignificant
little Aussie girl can bring down a government, you have been
warned John Howard. Schapelle is not getting a fair trial and
the people are speaking out. The time is now to stop funding
Indonesia until Schapelle is freed and home where she belongs.
You will lose government if Schapelle is not home and free by
the next election. 88 percent of Australians can see what's
going on john, why are your eyes closed?? If for no other reason
than to win the next election ACT NOW." Kevin, Melbourne
Australia
" I have known of the unforgiving,
and indeed relentlessly, "holier than thou" attitude
of the Indonesian government for years, and obviously, while
their intentions are commendable, executing the innocent is
certainly not the way to gain any measure of respect in a so-called
civilized society which we, as members of the United Nations
supposedly represent. I know from what I have read and seen,
that they do NOT put any store in the English Common Law concept,
adopted by most of the world, of "innocent until PROVEN
guilty, beyond reasonable doubt". Unfortunately we in the
rest of the world, olur politicians in particular, do not have
the guts to install boycotts in trade or travel against the
Indonesian government. More's the pity. But what an uproar it
would raise if we in the rest of the world were to do the same
thing to an Indonesian citizen. Our prayers and wishes are with
Ms. Schapelle." Robert, Canada
"I can not believe the
Australian government, let alone ANY civilized government, would
let one of their own face such a thing! Get her out of there!
Give her a fair trail on her own soil and if she is found guilty,
so be it. She should be punished if she is guilty... but shot
until dead by a
firing squad! If the Australian government can't get this lady
safely home, then they may be as bad as the people who are considering
this type of punishment for such a crime. Get her out of there!"
Brian, Georgia USA
"Add me to the petition. It is patently
clear she is innocent." DAVID, BALLARAT, VICTORIA,
AUSTRALIA
"Following this with disbelief, is
it really happening? A
moron could tell she is innocent." John, British Columbia,
Canada
"Isn't Indonesia well known for
child prosititution while gladly accepting the contributions
of the world in tsunami relief efforts? And Indonesian "justice"
reduces sentences for the Bali bombers who killed hundreds?
May those in power in Indonesia be strengthened within themselves
to give Shapelle mercy, apology and freedom." Alex,
Unknown
"Innocent or not, I won't give a
damn for this kind of "justice" Aurimas, Lithuania
"hiya, i would like to
include my name on your petition for a fare evaluation of truth
as a humane humanitarian and Buddhist as an appreciation of
the divine feminine as and in its naked wisdom personification,
there are other forms of Buddhism which are inclusive in the
totality of sexuality rather than a monk of renounciation of
the world as is seen as a problem rather than embracing everything
weather considered pure or impure, attachment to either is a
dualistc conceptualisation of the world nothing is black and
white...warmest wishes and loving thoughts." nick,

"Please add my name to
the petition. She´s innocent!" Ralf, Germany
"FREE SCHAPELLE CORBY, NOW!"
Domenico, Italy
"I support Schapelle Corby. I believe
she is innocent. I believe the Australian Government should
do ALL it can do to ensure her safe and imminent return to Australia.
The Australian Government should not put its relationship with
Indonesia before the human and legal rights of an Australian
citizen. And on that note - bring David Hicks home!" Sarah,
Melbourne, Australia
"The Howard government,
Commits our troops to fight in Iraq, Commits our troops to help
and save Indonesian lives. Commits a BILLION DOLLARS of our
taxes to rebuild Indonesia and help its people...............Yet,
Commits nothing to help Schapelle. What about the Indonesian
President? He should put an end to this nonsence and send our
Schapelle home,to
show some RESPECT to our citizens, for all help and support
we give them. I support their hard line on drugs and trafficers........But
be fair and true about it. Even if Schapelle was guilty, NO
WAY is her treatment fair or just. Compare this to the lienient
treatment the Bali bombers (AUSSIE KILLERS ) got. If the Howard
Government thinks this type of treatment and punishment is so
good and fair. Then implement the same laws here and get tough
on rime.Our laws are a joke and the Government is happy about
that.So why not stand up and demand our laws for our citizen?
and bring Schapelle home. If this is how the Indonesians treat
our citizens they dont deserve our BILLION DOLLARS. JUSTICE
FOR SCHAPELLE!....." Brett Aus
"She should be acquitted."
Ramchandran, Unknown
"How can this be happening? She
is Innocent until proven guilty. Absolutely barbaric that she
could be sentenced to death by firing squad. Why is the government
not doing more to ensure her freedom? Count me in!!!" Elaine,
Australia.
"Please look at the facts in this
case. She is obviously in innocent party in all of this. Prime
Minister Howard must campaign for her release. I
will pray for her."Adrian, Derby, UK
"This is beyond a shocking case
-- I was rivetted when I saw this story on thenews recently.
Please add my name to the petition, the Austrailain government
should be doing everything in their power and beyond!"
Russell, Montclair NJ USA
"hello sir/madam, to err is human.forgive
others is the gift god given to us.give her a chance and see
that she will not repeat that again.mother'd day is coming and
you are punishing a mother who is necessary for human race to
continue.please pardon her and let her get other punishment
like putting her in prison for 5 years." praneeth,

"Please add me to youre petition.
Please also add links in youre web page for OTHER petitions
to free Schapelle. You/Me/We could be paying for Schapelle's
jail time... :-? Or maybe even the next terrorist bombs!!! (More
likely) Look closely at the "Made in....[?]" label(s)
details on youre products..... DONT BUY "Made in Indonesia"!!!!!"

"ANY GIRL THAT IS TWENTY SEVEN
YEARS OLD SHOULD NOT DIE AT THE HANDS OF ANOTHER HUMAN BEING."
Jeremy, Alberta, CANADA
"Please add my name to the petition.
I am disgusted at the timeframe which Schapelle has endured
this entire saga. Innocence is obvious and how many times can
a bunch of people sit around and talk about marijuana in a bag?
Who cares how it got there if it is clearly not hers! Release
her, she does not need to be made an example of. The Bali Nine
deserve this treatment for actually being guilty, not the innocent
Schapelle. If anything happens to her then I will not be going
to Bali ever again, having been three times already. Message
to the Govt of Indonesia - Don't destroy your people, they have
been through enough over the past few years. Like Schapelle,
they need not suffer." Shannon Perth, Western Australia
"This absolutely appaling, she should
not have to go through this. Something has to be done to secure
her release. " Lloyd United Kingdom
"I have a daughter doing her HSC
this year.She is planning for soon after exams end, an overseas
trip with a number of friends.I sure as hell am not allowing
her to go to Bali and her friends parents have the same opnion.
It could have been any innocent victim caught up in this. It
does not make economic sense for drugs to be taken from Australia
into Bali, given the far reduced value in Bali. Open your eyes
Bali judges, THIS GIRL IS INNOCENT-" Bernice , Sydney

"I ask the judiciary of Indonesia to weigh the evidence
carefully, particularly the absence of rational motivation for
a woman such as Schapelle Corby to bring drugs from Australia
into Indonesia. When there is doubt as to guilt or innocence,
mercy should prevail, based on the tenets of Islam, Hinduism,
and the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights.
The death penalty is irrevocable, which
is why I oppose it, especially when the burden of proof is to
prove innocence. The potential punishment, especially when compared
with the sentences of those convicted of terrorism in Bali,
is out of all proportion to this ALLEGED crime." Brian,
Canada
"Yes indeed I believe
Schapelle is innocent but even if she were guilty would a death
or life sentence really be applicable considering Bashir got
off so lightly with his part in the Bali Bombing? Is planting
drugs on westerners just another form of Islamic terrorism to
terrorise and get at us? If Schapelle is sentenced is it right
that our taxes provide hundreds of millions of dollars to Indonesia
to rebuild after the tsunami?
Australians must stand together and stand firm on this until
Schapelle is brought home and justice is done otherwise all
those Anzac and mateship stories are just long faded memories!"
Peter, Australia
"Having been born and grown up in
Australia, and still feel very much Australian I suddenly feel
ashamed to be called one. This case against Shapelle would be
thrown out of ANY court in the western world, where we believe
a person is innocent until proven guilty. How can Howard say
we must “respect” the courts of another country
(Indonesia) when they have already proven over and over that
they are totally corrupt and the basis of their whole system
is the opposite to ours, where one is considered guilty until
proven innocent. If this girl dies, by their hand or by her
own, because she cannot cope any more, then her blood is on
the hands of Howard and Downer, because they had the power to
do something that none of us can do, and they did nothing. Don’t
make this innocent girl a human sacrifice Mr Howard in your
misguided attempts to win the respect and friendship of Indonesia,
who will stab you in the back as soon as look at you. GET THIS
GIRL HOME NOW!" Colin, New Zealand
