  • The remaining five members of the 'Bali Nine' looked on as Australian and Indonesian government officials signed a repatriation deal, granting their return to Australia.

The article from MSN discusses the recent agreement between Australia and Indonesia concerning the repatriation of the "Bali Nine" members, who have been imprisoned in Indonesia for nearly two decades. The deal involves transferring the remaining members of the group, who were convicted for attempting to smuggle heroin into Indonesia in 2005, back to Australia to serve the remainder of their sentences. This move comes after years of imprisonment, with some members already having been executed or having died in custody. The agreement signifies a significant shift in policy, allowing for the possibility of these prisoners to be closer to their families and potentially under different prison conditions. The transfer is part of a broader diplomatic effort to manage the long-standing issue between the two nations.
