- The Bali Nine is the name given to a group of nine people arrested on 17 April 2005, in Denpasar on the island of Bali, Indonesia, in a plan to smuggle 8.3 kg (18 lb) of heroin valued at approximately AUD 4 million from Indonesia to Australia. Andrew Chan, Si Yi Chen, Michael Czugaj, Renae Lawrence, Tach Duc Thanh Nguyen, Matthew Norman, Scott Rush, Martin Stephens and Myuran Sukumaran, all aged between 18 and 28 at the time of their arrests, faced the death penalty if convicted. On 13 February 2006, Lawrence and Rush, the first of the nine to face sentencing, were sentenced to life imprisonment. The following day, Czugaj and Stephens were sentenced to life imprisonment, and group ringleaders, Chan and Sukumaran were sentenced to death via firing squad; the first ever death sentences imposed by the Denpasar District Court. The remaining three, Norman, Chen and Nguyen were all sentenced to life imprisonment on 15 February 2006. On 26 April 2006, Lawrence, Nguyen, Chen, and Norman had their sentences reduced to 20-year sentences on appeal, while the life sentences for Czugaj and Stephens were upheld. Prosecutors launched appeals against the reductions in sentences. On 6 September 2006, it was revealed that as a result of appeals brought by prosecutors and heard by the Supreme Court, Scott Rush, Tan Duc Than Nguyen, Si Yi Chen and Matthew Norman had had the death penalty imposed. The new death sentences were unexpected. Prosecutors, in their appeals against the 20-year terms faced by most of the nine, had only called for them to be upgraded to life imprisonment. It is believed the cases were finalised in August 2006, but court officials in Bali did not immediately receive the results. The life sentences for Martin Stephens and Michael Czugaj were upheld. Renae Lawrence had not lodged a further appeal to her 20-year sentence, so her sentence was not rejudged and stands at 20 years. On 6 March 2008, it was revealed that three of the Bali 9 (Matthew Norman, Si Yi Chen and Tan Duc Thanh Nguyen) have had their death sentences reduced to life imprisonment. The reduction has not been officially announced but court sources have confirmed that the judges have decided to spare their lives.
- 峇里九人組，是一個由9名澳洲人組成的運毒集團，他們全數於2005年4月17日在印尼峇里島登巴沙被捕，當時他們正準備從印尼偷運8.3公斤海洛英到澳洲，市值400萬澳元。 九名被告當中包括兩名華裔及一名越南裔，被捕時年齡介乎18至28歲。按照當地的法律，他們一經定罪，最高可被判處死刑。 2006年2月13日，首兩名受審的被告勞倫絲（Renae Lawrence）及拉斯（Scott Rush）被判終身監禁，至翌日的審訊中，被告蘇蓋傑（Michael Czugaj）及史提芬斯（Martin Stephens）同被判囚終身，集團頭目安德魯·陳（Andrew Chan）及蘇庫馬朗（Myuran Sukumaran）則判處槍斃，也是登巴沙地區法院首次作出的死刑判決。最後三名被告諾曼（Matthew Norman）、陳思逸（Si Yi Chen）及阮晉德青（Tan Duc Thanh Nguyen）於2月15日被判終身監禁。判決結果透過澳洲的SKY News直播。 至4月26日，五名被告上訴得直，獲減為20年有期徒刑，三名被告上訴遭駁回，包括兩名死刑犯，而最後一名被告選擇不上訴。 9月6日，當地最高法院發言人Djoko Sarwoko稱，控方已提出上訴，並宣判加重部分被告刑期。案件相信已於8月完成審理，但峇里法院官員尚未得知結果。 至2008年3月6日，有消息指其中三人（諾曼、陳思逸及阮晉德青）獲得減刑，由死刑改判終身監禁，但減刑消息並未正式對外公佈，僅透過法庭內部證實法官決定減刑的消息。
