"Schapelle Corby needs your urgent help!"
Please send this letter to Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd.
Schapelle Corby's health is going downhill very fast. We need to pressure the Australian government to get her repatriated to Australia as soon as possible. This will require a diplomatic solution and the person to do that is Prime Minister Rudd.

The Hon Kevin Rudd MP Prime Minister PO Box 6022 House of Representatives Parliament House Canberra ACT 2600 AUSTRALIA Dear Prime Minister, I have been reading about Schapelle Corby, an Australian citizen in jail in Indonesia for 20 years. I wish to note my support for Ms Corby as someone who cares about all individuals, regardless of where they are from. I hope that the Australian government appreciates the strength of my feelings on the matter. I feel very strongly that Ms Corby is a victim of a dreadful injustice. As I understand it, her sentence is disproportionately high when compared to other drugs-related crimes in Indonesia and many aspects of what happened were very questionable. However, I am particularly concerned to read that her condition in jail has deteriorated and her health is suffering to such a degree. She has been there for nearly five years now and the situation has definitely taken its toll. Regardless of what has happened before, I think that she has suffered enough and that her family too have suffered enough in supporting her from overseas. I understand that Australia has great facilities for caring for people in her situation and I think it would help her greatly if she could be in a familiar environment and closer to family and friends. It would also help ease the burden on her family. It is my hope that she can be repatriated to Australia soon. I am writing to encourage the Australian government to make any and all representations to Indonesia to ensure she comes home as soon as possible and to support her in her any request for clemency on these grounds. Thank you for taking the time to read my letter. Yours Faithfully, [name ]
