Five from the network "Bali Nine" are released after 19 years
The remaining five members of the "Bali Nine" heroin network have been released from prison in Indonesia and returned home to Australia, the ABC reports.
"I thank President Prabowo Subianto for his compassion," Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese writes on X.
Matthew Norman, Si Yi Chen, Scott Rush, Martin Stephen and Michael Czugaj were arrested trying to smuggle eight kilos of heroin from Bali International Airport in 2005 and sentenced to life in prison. The group's two leaders, Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran, were executed in 2015, which was condemned by the Australian government at the time.
The men will be released in Australia on the condition that they undertake rehabilitation.

Worst storm in 90 years – the shantytowns are in ruins
The cyclone that hit the French island group of Mayotte off the coast of Africa was the strongest in 90 years. In the worst case, thousands of people may have died and the infrastructure has been severely destroyed. Several hospitals and care facilities have been destroyed and flooded.
- Nothing was spared, says Ambdilwahedou Soumaila, the mayor of the capital Mamoudzou, to AFP.
The poorest areas, where around 100,000 people live, have been hardest hit. This is stated by the French Red Cross for the BBC.
- Most of the shantytowns have been completely destroyed. And we have not received any report of displaced people yet. So the reality could be dire in the coming days, he says.
The islands have been ruled by France since the middle of the 19th century and are the country's poorest region, writes TT.
