Posted: Wed Sep 06, 2006 7:48 am
Indonesia's Supreme Court has increased the sentences for four Australians convicted of drug smuggling in Bali to the death penalty, officials said.
The four men were part of the so-called Bali Nine group convicted of trying to smuggle heroin to Australia.
The sentences were increased after prosecutors appealed against a reduction in their lengthy prison terms in April, court officials said.
This means that six of the group are now facing the death penalty.
