Please,
do not believe the very same people who told us there
could never be a terrorist attack on Bali, who now tell
us there could never be another attack on Bali. They
are liars without ethics, pride or humanity. It is a
fact, the special Australian police forces that operated
in Indonesia after the 12th October 2002 Bali Bombing
stopped, quote "Another significant event"
on the island. The "We want your money, but don't
care about your safety" brigade told us before
it was safe again. They were / are liars. Do not believe
them now.
This page is to remind us all of the terrible human
tragedy caused by the October 2002 Bali terrorist attacks
on the Sari Club and Paddy's Bar on Jalan Legian in
Kuta. For the sake of those that died or were teribly
injured, you should think about whether your money will
increase the risk for others. And for the sake of your
own family, you should think hard about the facts, the
truth about safety in Bali. We have kept the horrendous
Bali bombing pictures to the last, at the bottom of
this page. Please, do not view them if you are under
18 years old and / or of a nervous disposition. We have
only used photographs where individuals, we believe,
can not be identified (out of courtesy and respect to
the deceased's family and friends).
Amrozi, the master bomber in the Bali Bombing
We
would like to remind you of his smiles, seen here after
his capture, and the smiles he gave in the court room.
We would like to remind you of the thumbs up he gave
in the court room when they handed down his death sentence.
He has absolutely no remorse for any of the people he
murdered or maimed. We would like to remind you of the
attitude of the police who arrested and questionned
him. How they shook his hand in front of the cameras,
the same way an important person is greated. We would
like to remind you of the smiles of the police officers,
who were very happy at the media attention but clearly
uncaring about Amrozi's crimes against humanity. We
would also like you to think about the Indonesian court
rulings that the law used and rulings to convict Amorizi
and his accomplices were illegal. We would like you
to ask yourselves why they simply did not apply the
old murder law, why they have already acquited members
of the terorist gang who admitted involvement in the
Bali bombs.
Now for the graphic photos. It is a shame we have to
show them, we would rather not. Although we have only
picked the photos we believe do not identify a particular
victim, they are of real people who should be left to
rest in peace. But we truly believe, if they were alive
now, they would want these pictures shown to remind
people of what happened, and what could very easily
happen again. We are sure they would tell you "Please,
please, please be careful. Consider if it is safe or
right to go to Bali. And if you go, make sure you keep
yourself and your family as safe as possible".
Please do not become a victim or part
of the problem. Read:

adding to the problem / putting myself / my family at
