It's been more than 16 years since a series of bombs ripped through a popular tourist hot spot in Bali, leaving 202 people dead, including 88 Australians.

But now Indonesia's security minister says the decision to release Bashir early will be reviewed following widespread backlash over the early release plans. Who is Abu Bakar Bashir and why is there a debate about his release now?
