Five members of Bali Nine return to Australia after nearly 20 years in Indonesian prisons

Five members of the Bali Nine have returned to Australia after nearly 20 years in Indonesian prisons. They are currently housed at the Howard Springs quarantine facility in Darwin, which was previously used for COVID-19 quarantine. The men were flown from Bali to Darwin in a secret operation, with their families unaware of their return. They will remain at the facility as part of their reintegration process, with ongoing rehabilitation agreed upon in negotiations between Australia and Indonesia. Authorities have not disclosed what support will be provided to the men, who have not yet been able to contact their families. The facility is heavily monitored and access is restricted, with a military presence and security measures in place.
