MEDAN - A 21-year old Australian has been arrested in Medan, the capital of Indonesia's North Sumatra province, for allegedly distributing the party drug Ecstasy, police said Monday, after authorities allegedly found more than 2,000 tablets in his possession. The man, described as an English teacher, was seized at a house he rented in Medan on Saturday, police said in a statement. If convicted, he could be sentenced to death.
Earlier, police said an Australian model had been detained for possessing Ecstasy on the resort island of Bali. The 24-year-old Adelaide native was allegedly caught with two Ecstasy tablets after police raided a dance party at GW Cultural Park early Saturday morning. She could face at least a decade behind bars if charged and convicted. "She was found carrying Ecstasy, and so we detained her," said Insp. Bambang Sugiharto, from the police narcotics division on Bali island.
The two Australians are the latest in a string of foreigners to be detained during a police crackdown on illegal drugs across the country. Employing surprise raids and on-the-spot drug tests, authorities have netted scores of Indonesian celebrities and foreign tourists. Under Indonesia's tough drug laws, a person found guilty of narcotics possession faces up to 10 years in jail. A conviction for distribution of drugs carries the death penalty.
Last week, a Bali court sentenced an Australian businessman to five months in jail for possessing a small amount of marijuana. Meanwhile, Schapelle Corby was sentenced to 20 years in prison in May for smuggling 4.2 kilograms (9 pounds) of marijuana onto Bali. Corby's defence team claimed she was likely a victim of an Australian drug ring involving corrupt baggage handlers who failed to retrieve marijuana planted in her surfboard bag before it was transferred to an international flight in Australia.

No he teaches indonesian youth, which by good chance are also customers of the drugs he deals. So feel sad for the poor indonesians who wont learn english, wont be seduced by their teacher and wont be supplied with drugs anymore.

From this it becomes clear why the death penalty is not a good idea for having drugs.
I mean what's the difference between 2 death penalties and 2000 penalties?
I think 2 months or 2000 months in prison makes more sense for these people.
