Around 1,500 people congregated on Monday on the streets of Rufei district, Sorong, West Papua, demanding that the state prosecutor'€™s office abandon its efforts to send former police officer Labora Sitorus to prison and calling for the establishment of an independent team to carry out a thorough investigation into the case.

The Supreme Court recently increased Labora'€™s sentence to 15 years in prison and a Rp 5 billion fine,
far heavier than the two years and Rp 500 million fine initially handed down by the Sorong District Court, when Labora was found guilty of money laundering, illegal logging and fuel hoarding.

Your comments:

This is getting '€œstupid'€!  

Pay a bunch of lowlifes to protest on your behalf and maybe, just maybe, you can get a guilty verdict overturned.

Indonesian law, police, politicians, civil servants and government workers all seem to be exempt from any convictions or jail time.  

Beyond belief!  

Several '€œflash-bangs'€, teargas and several thousand volts from stun guns would dismantle the group and render them incapacitated, slap flex cuffs on and get this criminal!

Stop with the negotiations and let attorneys, prosecutors and a judge battle it out, while this criminal sits in a cell with his soap on a rope.  

What does it take for the law enforcement to actually work in Indonesia?
