From militancy to PhD: Brother of Bali bombers reaches academic peak
[BenarNews] Ali Fauzi Manzi, a former terror convict whose brothers were behind the 2002 Bali bombings, shed tears as he delivered a speech during commencement at a university in Malang last week. The repentant former bomb-maker for the al-Qaeda-affiliated Jemaah Islamiyah had just received his doctorate in Islamic education for his research subject, "Religious moderation for former terrorism convicts."

A 2020 IPAC report said 11% of terror convicts in the country become repeat offenders.
Ali, 51, says meeting with the Bali bombing survivors and the victims’ families made him dedicate his life to helping former murderous Moslems like himself reintegrate into society.

"This is the happiest day of my life," he said to loud applause in front of more than 2,000 other graduates at the University of Muhammadiyah Malang.
