aw and Human Rights Deputy Minister Denny Indrayana said he would cancelSchapelle Leigh Corby's parole if she gave a requestedinterview to Channel Seven of Australia.
"We have decided that we are against the arranged interview because it could cause a polemic. If she goes through with it, Corby's release on a parole can be revoked," he said as quoted by Kompas on Friday.
In securing the decision, Denny suggested that this 36-year-old convicted drug smuggler from Queensland refuse the TV station's offered interview, Antara reported.
Corby was found guilty by an Indonesian court in Bali of smuggling 4.2 kilograms of marijuana into the country through Ngurah Rai International Airport in October 2004.
Corby was then sent to prison in 2005 for 20 years, but President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono shortened her term by five years.
On Monday morning, she was released on parole but was ordered to remain in Indonesia until 2017 to meet her probation conditions.
