Three members of Australia’s Bali Nine, who have served 16 years behind bars, should be forgiven and allowed to walk free one day, prison and justice ministry officials say. Kerobokan jail governor, Fikri Jaya Soebing, told AAP both Norman and Chen were model prisoners and deserved remissions. “They have never violated the rules inside the jail and they actively manage the rehabilitation programs in jail. Bali’s Correctional Board has recommended Rush, Chen and Norman have their sentences cut. Bali Nine member Martin Stephens, 45, also serving a life sentence, is in a jail in Malang in East Java.
