Local media and Balidiscovery.com’s coverage of the arrest a Japanese teenager arrested for marijuana possession in Bali [See: Graduation Delayed] prompted a corrective note from James Nicholas Bird, Director of Studies at Taman Rama Schools (Taman Mahatma Gandhi Foundation).
The school administrator objected to local press coverage of the arrest of Ryusei Yohioka, issuing the following clarification:
- The Japanese youth had left Taman Rama School “by mutual consent: in July 2011, a full 13 months prior to his arrest by Balinese police.
- The young man was “never part of a school leaving graduation batch of students.”
The clarification was made on behalf of
Taman Rama Schools, which, in the words of Bird, “emphasizes the good behavior of its student.”
