Anti-graft activists named libel suspects, Emerson Yuntho and Illian Deta Sari, said Tuesday they would not attend the first questioning session at the National Police’s Criminal Detective Body (Bareskrim).
The two members of Indonesia Corruption Watch (ICW) said they would instead just send the police a letter.
Detectives have sent the two activists warrants summoning them to attend the first questioning session on Thursday.
“First of all, we will send them a letter requesting an explanation of the warrants. We are not outlaws, we will obey the rules. But their warrants were a little unclear so we need them to elucidate,” Emerson told The Jakarta Post.
On the police warrants, copies of which were obtained by the Post, Emerson and Illian were mistakenly identified as members of “International Coroption Word” (ICW).
“We want to ensure it is us they want. Our NGO is Indonesia Corruption Watch not ‘International Coroption Word’,” Emerson said, adding that they would send the letter Thursday. (bbs)
