Schapelle Corby has been denied a Christmas Day reduction


Australian drug smuggler Schapelle Corby has been denied a Christmas Day reduction in her sentence because she had a mobile phone in her jail cell earlier this year.
The governor of Bali's Kerobokan Prison Ilham Djaja today said Corby was not among 81 prisoners recommended for a sentence reduction to mark today's religious holiday in Indonesia.
"We didn't suggest her (to have sentence reduction) because she is still under punishment over violation of hand phone usage inside the prison a few months ago," Djaja said.
"One violation means one year of no remission," Djaja said.
It is the second time Corby has been denied a sentence reduction this year because of the mobile phone indiscretion, with the Gold Coast beauty student also missing out on Indonesia's Independence Day in August.
Corby was arrested in October 2004 at Denpasar Airport with 4.2kg of marijuana in her boogie board bag after arriving on a flight from Australia.
She was jailed for 20 years but has maintained her innocence.
