Shapelle Corby was imprisoned on drug violations. A drug that is now legal in places in the USA. She had no control of the behavior of her family or otherwise. She should not be penalized after earning parole.
This is not justice.
If the government had restrictions on her public appearance it should have insured her privacy at release and transportation to her residence. Indonesia did not guarantee she would not be photographed until she was released to her own ability to control her life. She had no control of her life at the point she was photographed.

..."I am waiting for a complete report (click here) from the Bali Corrections Board, and in the meantime I'd like to announce that there's a possibility I will revoke Corby's parole," he told a small group of journalists.
The Indonesian government had warned the Corby family that Schapelle should not do a post-release interview, but the story on Seven's Sunday Night program used candid footage of Corby and an interview with her sister, Mercedes.
The program captured Schapelle's first moments out of jail after being convicted in 2005 of drug smuggling.
Her release wasn't conducted well. Indonesia should have anticipated the intense interest in her release and allowed interviews with Ms. Corby before she was released. The government could have controlled the frenzy better.
If the interviews/press conference was conducted before she was released the Indonesian government would have her 'on the record' and would have blunted their fears of any venomous words regarding her incarceration. Did anyone sincerely expect Ms. Corby to actually like her incarceration?
