How disgusting that the P.O.S. is being released so close 20th anniversary of the Bali bombing on October 12th. 🤬

It took until 2012 for the man dubbed "demolition man" to be tracked down, arrested, and sentenced to 20 years behind bars.
But he is now due to walk free from Porong prison within days after being granted an early release as part of Indonesia's Independence Day.
Patek received a remission of his sentence, as officials insisted he had been de-radicalized.

The move is a major blow to victims of the blasts and their families, as they prepare to commemorate the anniversary and remember the 88 Australians killed on October 12, 2002.
Survivors and families of victims have said all of the Bali Bombers should be made to see out their sentences in full or at least be subject to strict monitoring on release.

Umar Patek, 52, was sentenced to 20 years in prison in Indonesia for his role in the double suicide bombings in Kuta but he has only served 10.
At trial, he was accused of assembling the explosives that ripped through Bali's Sari Club and Paddy's Irish Bar, killing 202 people, including 88 Australians.

So wrong..so very wrong. This wasn't a child who'd been radicalised, this was a grown man who knew exactly what he was doing and deliberately set out to kill as many as possible.. his original sentence should stand at the very least.. in fact 20 years was an abomination in the first instance.. and an insult to the families of the murdered and injured

Patek simply built the bombs used in the terrorist acts. He didn't plant them or detonate them. Punishing him is like punishing gun manufacturers for mass shootings. Bombs don't kill people; people kill people.

NOTE: That was sarcasm.
