An Australian man was photographed urinating on the Sari Club site, which was flashed all over the Australian media during the weekend.
To the disgust of families of victims and survivors, the man, reportedly part of a football group attending the Bali Bomb anniversary, was caught urinating against a wall after the ceremony at the site on Friday night with a Bintang beer perched on the wall above his head.
The condition of the site was the subject of many reports in the Australian press last week comparing it to a makeshift urinal.
A member of the Kingsley Football Club, Adam Nimmo, who also attended the ceremony, refused to comment on whether the man was a member of their club.
“My hands are tied,” he told Perth Now after viewing the photo that the news site had sent him.
David Marshall, whose father Robert Marshall was killed in the blasts and was a trainer at South Australia’s Sturt Football Club at the time, said the photo was repulsive and should be publicised.
“I for one am extremely disgusted that he has no respect whatsoever for the lives that were lost as a result of the bombing. I believe every effort should be taken to find this person, even as far as printing the photo to try and get leads to whoever he is and have him totally shamed,” Mr Marshall said on Sunday.
The emergence of the photo comes just days after Bali bombing survivors, including former Kingsley Football Club captain Phil Britten, labelled the current state of the Sari Club “disgraceful” and “disrespectful” to those affected because too many people are desecrating it with their urine and treating it like a public toilet.
There were fresh calls this week for the site to become a peace park and an area of reflection and remembrance for the 202 victims killed in the bombs.
