                   Indonesia Paroles Australian Drug Smuggler

   Indonesia has granted parole to a convicted Australian drug trafficker,
   whose story generated huge public sympathy and publicity in her home
   country.
   Justice Minister Amir Syamsuddin told reporters on Friday that
   Schapelle Corby was among a batch of prisoners whose parole
   applications had been finalized because she had fulfilled the
   requirements as set out in the law.
   Corby was sentenced to 20 years in prison in 2005 for trying to smuggle
   four kilograms of marijuana into the resort island of Bali. Drug
   trafficking is punishable by death in Indonesia.
   Indonesia`s Justice Ministry declined to say when Corby would be
   released from prison.
