Corby Game pardon grows

The Indonesian government has been forced to defend the decision to release Schapelle Corby that a reaction against it is growing in Indonesia.

The convicted cannabis dealer must comply with the Governor of the prison of Kerobokan Bali night when Australia officially know the outcome of the clemency and discuss what it means for the duration of his sentence.

But popular opinion has turned against the player for 34-year-old former Gold Coast beautician, after the country’s chief justice, Mahfud MD yesterday criticized the decision, saying it was worse that drug trafficking and terrorism that the country deserves an explanation of its president.

President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, has refused to explain his decision, but his son You were defending him, and Justice Minister, Amir Syamsuddin Corby insisted that was not the first foreigner, nor the drug dealer before he was granted a pardon in Indonesia.

“For your information, no pardon is granted only in Corby,” he said.

A German criminal who was detained for four grams of methamphetamine in his order the sentence was reduced by nearly half due to their physical health, Mr. Syamsuddin.

He also mentioned that the penalties for trafficking in cannabis were not as severe as heroin.

This is a bad sign for Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran, members of the Bali Nine, who hoped that the clemency of Corby could pave the way to be saved from the death penalty. The public stake in Indonesia could deter Mr. Yudhoyono, the intention to remove the death penalty. Appeals are submitted to the president now.

The Justice Minister also noted that Corby would not be immediately released.

“will benefit only the words before September 2012, and even then there will be a guarantor,” he said.

the son of Mr. Yudhoyono, Edhie Baskoro or more popularly known as Anavar, said the pardon would help for Corby prisoners of Indonesia in other countries.

“The good deal for foreigners (in prisons in Indonesia) can help Indonesians facing trials abroad,” said You were in a written statement from news websites Detikcom Indonesian s ‘have saved many with severe penalties, including the death penalty in foreign countries, he said.

“Through the struggle of diplomacy is doing the government, Indonesia has achieved convictions free or reduced price and other Indonesian migrant workers were sav ed because of the death penalty in foreign countries. These included 206 Indonesians involved in murders, drugs and other serious crimes. We must fight for it, “he said.

Details Brooks cozy relationships

DPA

Rebecca Brooks, former executive of News International, was counted in the vibrant “harvest” of the relationship between the media and politicians, including text messages per week and “Lots of Love” sign-off.

Brooks, 43, was giving evidence to the inquiry headed by Justice Leveson that is trying to determine whether the close relationship between the media and politicians has been used to cover illegal practices as the phone-hacking in Britain.

He said the prime minister, David Cameron, a personal friend, was indirectly sent him a text message of sympathy, when he quit his job at Rupert Murdoch’s News International for the completion a long phone hacking scandal last year.

The message was to the effect of “keep your head high,” and resigned to end his career of 23 years of News International, including news production, now gone tabloid Sunday World, and the mass circulation Sun daily.

“He would sign DC (David Cameron), in the main proceedings” in relation to Brooks. Occasionally he would sign “lol” a lot of love.

So I said what I meant “laugh”. Of course not make it. “

” I’d like David Cameron, the text, and vice versa, sometimes, a lot of people, “said Brooks. Too much has been said of the alleged close relationship between the media and politicians he added.

Politicians of all parties had sought close ties with the media, he said. “If politicians are afraid of you?” Judge Brian Leveson asked. “I do not see politicians as people get scared easily, “she said.

had received similar messages of support from the Labour Prime Minister Gordon Brown and Tony Blair, said Brooks, adding that he had met and had dinner with Blair at least 30 times between 1998 and 2007.

However, Brooks insisted that neither she nor the politicians who worked, never hiding the boundary between professional and personal relationships.

“I would never jeopardize my position as a journalist, and never compromised his political position,” he said. ” Both the press and politicians have a career first. “

a protégé of Mr. Murdoch, 81, the international media mogul, Brooks dismissed as” trivial “problems through research, that” I bought a dress and I went swimming with him. “

However, he admitted that, through the power of media representatives, has played an “informal paper” in support of Murdoch’s attempt to seize total control of BSkyB, the satellite broadcaster British TV, in which Murdoch’s News Corporation holds a 39.1 per cent.

Brooks said that a “joint anti-Sky offer” was formed in Britain, led by the BBC and most newspapers. Murdoch withdrew the attempted acquisition in the heyday of piracy scandal last year.

The survey, among other things, trying to determine whether the government of Cameron, and especially Jeremy Hunt, the minister responsible for culture and media, has had an “inappropriate” to promote the offer before it collapses.

Hunt, who is also minister responsible for the Olympics is due to testify in the investigation in the near future. Cameron also expected to be called.

Video will start in 5 seconds.

British lawmakers considered unfit to drive Murdoch

Rupert Murdoch’s News Corporation has hit back at a British parliamentary report concluded that the media mogul was not fit to lead a major company, who described the report as “unfair and biased” .

But the company also admitted that the report contains some hard truths “about” hacking phone in his London tabloid, now deceased, the News of the World.

Truth were “serious irregularities in the News of the World, that our response to the transgression was too slow and too defensive, and that some of our employees cheated the special committee [on average] in 2009 “News Corporation said in a statement.

The committee report, released last night, found that Rupert Murdoch was not fit to lead a large global company, because he had ” turned a blind eye “and was” willingly blind “regarding the antics of its UK company, News International (NI).

The report also found that the then head of NI James Murdoch has demonstrated “deliberate ignorance” of piracy extension phone in 2009 and 2010 and three top executives of the companies had misled the committee.

The report accused a former executive Les Hinton, of being “complicit” in covering up the newspaper. He also says the former company’s legal, Tom Crone, and a former director of the News of the World, Colin Myler, hid crucial information and deliberately misled the Committee in its statements.

“Female Both Tom and Colin Myler deliberately avoided to disclose crucial information to the committee and, when asked to do so, he answered the questions correctl y,” MPS has ended.

While the committee was unanimously declared that the lack of knowledge of both piracy Murdoch was “incredible”, the conclusion that Rupert Murdoch was not right was disputed, with the support of Labour MPs and Liberal Commission (six votes) and the opposition Conservatives of all (five votes). Two Conservatives said later that there is no evidence on this issue was raised before the committee.

In a statement, News Corp, said: “News Corporation … regrets that the analysis of records of the Selection Committee was followed by some comments that we have, and indeed several members Commission considers unfair and partisan. These observations divided along the lines of the Party committee. “

Messrs. Hinton, Women and Myler have all issued statements denying that he misled Parliament. Hinton said he was “surprised and disappointed” by the allegations and denied that was his own: “I have not participated in a ‘cover’.”

Meanwhile Labour MP Tom Watson said of Murdoch’s newspapers might have violated the voicemail number of children killed by a case came to light, the Dowler 13 years of age , Milly. Murdoch closed the News of the World last July after the horror of the population by the revelations of its journalists had violated phone after Milly disappeared.

Mr. Watson said the Murdoch press “has not said his last apology to the families of dead children.”

Mr. Watson has also suggested a new scandal could be the beer of hacking the newspapers: “I’m not sure, but I have reason to believe that against Organised Crime Agency is in possession of hard drives computer that can show the victims of hackers. “

The report of the Commission referred to the House of Commons, which will be asked to approve a motion to approve the conclusion that the former executives News International misled the committee.

The three executives could be call the bar of the House of Commons to apologize to Parliament.

Committee members also requested a debate on the appropriate penalties for committing the contempt of Parliament by a committee of misleading.
