• Bali bombmaker Umar Patek has starred in a promo video for his Indonesian jail
• Video has stirred more outrage with Patek set to walk free early on parole

Bali bombmaker Umar Patek has starred in a promotional video for the Indonesian prison where he is being held.

In the extraordinary clip posted on the YouTube channel of Porong prison in East Java, Patek is seen laughing and smiling as he chats with prison governor Jalu Yuswa Panjang.

The 2002 bombings killed more than 200 people, including 88 Australians

Patek, whose real name is Hisyam bin Ali Zein, was a member of radical Islamic terror group Jemaah Islamiah.

In the video Governor Panjang calls Patek 'our friend' and even seems to be trying to help his love life. 

'This morning I joined our brother Umar Patek, our friend in Block F,' the governor says at the start of the 20-minute video.

'Today we are going to talk to him about, who exactly is Umar Patek? Many do not know. Maybe there are a lot of ladies out there who want to know?'

After their amiable stroll is concluded the pair shake hands.

Patek, could walk free this month after serving less than half the 20-year jail term he was handed in 2014 for his role in making the explosive.

Multiple remissions for good behaviour mean he could be on parole well before the 20th anniversary of the attack.

Governor Panjang, who supports Patek's early release, encouraged the prisoner to talk about what his daily routine.

'I spend a lot of my time in the mosque with my friends. I also help out at a small shop,' Patek said.

Umar Patek could walk free within days after only serving about half of his original 20-year sentence

Perth mother June Corteen, whose twin daughters were killed in the bombings, has erupted with fury over Patek's potential release, saying he does not deserve any clemency.

'I don't believe he has changed. I don't believe he reckons he knows what he's done wrong,' she told Channel Seven.

'Please don't let him go. Please don't let him out, keep an eye on him for the rest of his life.'

News of Patek's potential release comes less than two months away from October's 20th anniversary of the bombings (pictured, the site of the horrific blast)

Melbourne man Jan Laczynski, who lost five friends in the Bali bombings, expressed serious doubts about Patek's change of heart.

'He's saying all of this in a high-security jail. It's a lot different when you're going out and about mixing with all the people that originally led him down this path,' he told the ABC. 

Indonesian terrorism expert Muhamad Syauqillah said about 10 per cent of terrorists fall back into extremism once released even if they are or claim to be de-radicalised.

The horror of the Bali Bombing 

At about 11pm on 12 October 2002 three bombs were detonated in Bali, two in busy nightspots – the Sari Club and Paddy’s Bar – and one in front of the American consulate.

The explosions killed 202 people, 88 of whom were Australian, and wounded hundreds more.

Carried out by terrorist organisation Jemaah Islamiyah, the attacks represent the single largest loss of Australian life due to an act of terror.

More than 30 people were eventually arrested for their involvement in the attacks.

AUSTRLAIA'S RESPONSE 

In the wake of the attacks, the Australian Defence Force immediately mobilised and, just 17 hours after the blast, the first RAAF plane arrived to evacuate injured Australians. In the largest aero-medical evacuation since the Vietnam War, at least 66 badly injured people were flown to Darwin for treatment.

The military then assisted in secondary transfers of people from Darwin to medical centres around the country.
