Help Schapelle Corby: She Has Endured Years Of Cruelty, Suffering & Is Dying In The Squalor Of An Indonesian Prison Cell

Schapelle Corby is an innocent Australian woman, who has endured years of cruelty and suffering in the squalor of an Indonesian prison cell. She was sentenced to a political 20 YEARS for importing a few pounds of marijuana, which to her horror she discovered in her bag on arrival. There followed the most shocking injustice and human rights abuses.

Incredibly, she has been deserted by her government for political expediency, who have used the media to subdue public opinion. Having had her soul finally broken, she is now confirmed mentally ill… literally dying in a squalid filthy overcrowded cell.

Yet appallingly she is still there, with the government doing nothing to help her. She needs YOUR help.

URGENT: SCHAPELLE’S FAILING HEALTH

One of Australia’s top psychiatrists recently got access to Schapelle for a full examination. His report was devastating. For a young woman to be reduced to the shocking state she in is an affront to civilization. She is hanging on by a thread. Unless action is taken soon, she will die on the filthy rat infested floor of her cell, and return home in a box.

The inaction of the Australian government beggars belief. A mentally ill citizen is dying in a hell hole, and they hide behind protocol, presumably because there is no political cost to the death of a normal working class girl.

WE have to create that cost.

We have to tell the world about this.

We have to explain to Australians how the truth they saw some of in 2004/5 has been distorted and hidden.

We have to tell the two governmets that we the PEOPLE won’t walk away.

But we have to do it NOW. Please join us…… a life literally depends upon it.
