une 28, Online: Former justice and human rights minister Yusril Ihza Mahendra and businessman Hartono Tanoesoedibjo are facing life imprisonment for their alleged roles in a graft case involving a government website.  The Attorney General Office’s special crimes investigations chief, Arminsyah, said Monday the two suspects had allegedly violated the 1999 Law on Corruption, which carries a minimum penalty of life imprisonment and a maximum penalty of death.

Your comments:

“Life in prison” I doubt so. Once the media circus dies down, they’ll probably pay their way out again quietly: pointless and meaningless exercise. Follow China’s lead and Indonesia will progress at a faster rate!

He should be renamed the former minister of human wrongs.

I fully agree with this, the government must be sensitive to the problem.
