Australian travel agent launches own protest against Corby trial

An Australian travel agent is refusing to sell holidays to the Indonesian island of Bali in protest against the treatment of alleged Australian drug smuggler Schapelle Corby.

The 27-year-old is accused of trying to smuggle more than four kilograms of marijuana into the Indonesian island of Bali last October, a crime punishable by firing squad.

I think this is a good way to keep this case in the news for a little while longer. I’m not sure how much it will help her, but at the same time, Bali doesn’t need any more bad press. I wonder if others will join in this protest - I have read reports of others booking trips elsewhere, but I am unsure if the impact of this case can be measured.
