About Si Yi Chen

  • Si Yi Chen (simplified Chinese: ???; traditional Chinese: ???; pinyin: Chén Siyì; born 19 March 1985) is an Australian who was convicted in Indonesia for drug trafficking as a member of the Bali Nine.
  • In 2005, Chen was arrested in a room at the Melasti Hotel in Kuta together with three others.
  • Police uncovered 334 g (11.8 oz) of heroin in a suitcase in the room.
  • After a criminal trial, on 15 February 2006 Chen was sentenced to life imprisonment.
  • His appeal to the Indonesian Supreme Court to have the sentence reduced suffered a shock when the Supreme Court imposed the death penalty on 6 September 2006.
  • A subsequent appeal to the Indonesian Supreme Court, following a full confession by Chen to his role in the plan to import heroin from Bali to Australia, resulted in the original sentence of life imprisonment being reinstated.
