Background of the Bali Nine Case
In 2005, nine young Australians, known as the Bali Nine, were arrested while attempting to smuggle over eight kilograms of heroin from Bali to Australia. The group included ringleaders Andrew Chan and Myron Sukumaran, who later faced execution by firing squad in 2015 despite international pleas for clemency from the Australian government. The arrests took place at Denpasar Airport and a hotel, where police discovered the drugs strapped to the bodies of the accused. This high-profile case raised significant public and governmental tension between Australia and Indonesia regarding drug trafficking laws and penalties.
