Indonesia Releases Bali Bomb Maker on Parole After He Served Half His Sentence
South China Morning Post ^ | 7 Dec, 2022

A bomb maker in the 2002 Bali attacks that killed 202 people was released from an Indonesian prison on parole on Wednesday after serving half his 20-year sentence, despite the opposition of Australia’s prime minister, who described him as “abhorrent”.

Umar Patek was a leading member of the al-Qaeda-linked network Jemaah Islamiah, which is blamed for the bombings at two nightclubs in Kuta Beach. Indonesian authorities have said Patek was successfully reformed in prison and they will use him to influence other militants to turn away from terrorism.

Patek 55, whose real name is Hisyam bin Alizein, received a total of 33 months of sentence reductions, which are often given to prisoners on major holidays, said Rika Aprianti, spokesperson for the Corrections Department at the Justice Ministry.

I don’t understand Australia. Djokovic is evil, but what about this guy? More pressure should have been applied. Patek should be in prison every day of his life, and grateful he wasn’t executed.

So put some of those Aussie SAS in civilian clothes, and handle it, like the Mossad would.

He should have been executed in 2002.

Watched a video about the bombing, recently.

Never realized the actual destruction and carnage.

Truly, horrific.

He deserves to be eaten by swine.

“Umar Patek, whose real name is Hisyam bin Alizein”
Ilhan Omar, whose real name is Ilhan Said Nur
I think I see a pattern developing.

Apparently, none of the victims were relatives/friends of government officials.
