AKARTA: Thousands of prisoners have been denied copies of their verdicts, a top official said on Monday.
The absence of these documents have left their cases shrouded with legal uncertainties, including the exact date of their release, Attorney General Hendarman Supandji said.
"In Jakarta, 1,900 convicts have not received copies of their court documents," Hendarman said after a meeting with Justice and Human Rights Minister Patrialis Akbar.
The figure could reach the tens of thousands, he added. "This is a matter of human rights."
Hendarman and Patrialis met to discuss a plan for an integrated criminal justice system.
