Graft activist Tama to leave hospital

Indonesia Corruption Watch (ICW) investigator Tama S. Langkun plans to leave hospital on Tuesday, where he had been treated after being brutally beaten in an attack many believed was linked to his investigative work.

“Tama will leave today. We will later go to the Witness and Victim Protection Agency (LPSK),” Adnan Topan Husodo, ICW deputy coordinator, told kompas.com Tuesday.

Asri Hospital authorities in South Jakarta had said that Tama has healed from injuries.

Tama was attacked on Jl. Duren Tiga, South Jakarta, Thursday, just two days after unknown assailants lobbed Molotov cocktails at the office of Tempo news magazine in Central Jakarta.

Tama had reported the suspiciously large bank accounts of high-ranking police officers to the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK). The police have ignored growing calls that the bank accounts be investigated by an independent team.
