466974Smuggle drugs, get the death sentence. Order to kill a judge, get 4 years. Burn an Achmadi Mosque, kill one or two of them and run free. Dirgahayu Indonesia!
Isn't the headline in error? The bust was in Jakarta, not Bali.

Indonesian customs arrested an Iranian man for allegedly attempting to smuggle methamphetamine worth $2 million hidden in oxygen tanks into the country, officials said on Thursday.
Rosul Solihikan, 30, was arrested on Monday when he went to pick up the two tanks filled with 18 kilograms of drugs he sent from Iran, said the customs chief investigator at Jakarta Airport.
“He and the package arrived on the same day last week on different flights from Iran,” Gatot Sugeng Wibowo told AFP, adding that airport officials always pay extra attention to packages from Iran.
The suspect, who claimed to be a technician for diving equipment, arrived on Saturday on Emirates and the package was on Qatar Airways cargo.
Iranian drugs syndicates have become the main suppliers of heroin and crystal methamphetamine to Indonesia, replacing West African countries, police say.
“He’s now under investigation of an anti-narcotics police unit,” said Wibowo.
Indonesia enforces stiff penalties, including life imprisonment and death, for drug trafficking.
Eight Iranians were sentenced to life last year for smuggling hundreds of methamphetamine tablets in their stomachs into the resort island of Bali.
