Terrorist defendant Umar Patek shakes hand with prosecutors before his first trial hearing at the West Jakarta District Court on Monday. Patek was charged with masterminding a series of terror attacks across the country, including the 2000 Christmas bombings and the 2002 Bali bombings.
Home Minister Gamawan Fauzi said the outdated 1985 Law on Mass Organization had prevented his ministry from creating decisive measures against the notorious and hard-line Islam Defenders Front (FPI).
Attorney Maqdir Ismail said he was disappointed in the Supreme Court’s ruling that rejected his client Antasari Azhar’s case review request. He acknowledged that the rejection nearly meant the end of the road for Antasari.
Gamawan says he has failed to convince Islamic groups on Yasmin
