The New York Times reports here on a nasty case from Indonesia: an acid attack on a human rights activist. The case has been moved to military court. Excerpt:
Mr. Prabowo promised a thorough investigation.
“This is a barbaric act, we must pursue it,” the president said in remarks released a week after the attack. “We must investigate. Who ordered them, who paid.”
Days later, the general who headed the military’s main intelligence arm, the Strategic Intelligence Agency, quietly resigned. He is not known to be facing any charges.
But on March 31, the police announced that the case had been transferred to the military, which meant that military prosecutors would have the ability to limit the scope of the investigation and determine what information is made public.
