Andrew Chan

Andrew Chan is an Australian man known for being one of the key figures in a high-profile drug trafficking case in Indonesia. In 2005, he was arrested as part of the Bali Nine, a group of nine Australians caught attempting to smuggle heroin from Indonesia to Australia. Chan, along with another member, was sentenced to death in 2006. His case raised significant debate about Indonesia's harsh drug laws and the death penalty. Chan's story captures issues of crime, justice, and international relations, leading to widespread public discussion and advocacy for his clemency before his execution in 2015.
