Islands in focus: Sarpin's brother files report against lecturers

T
he younger brother of South Jakarta District Court judge Sarpin Rizaldi, Alfikri Mukhlis, and the customary chief of 2X11 Kayu Taman district, Padang Pariaman, have filed a police report against Andalas University (Unand) State Administrative Law School lecturers Charles Simabura and Feri Amsari.
'We reported them for an article entitled 'Sarpin exiled through customary law' in the Padang Ekspres daily,' Alfikri told The Jakarta Post on Thursday.
He said the claim was untrue because only a clan uncle could exile a person after consultation in the Minangkabau tradition.
Charles said Sarpin's family had wrongly interpreted the news.
Sarpin, who annulled the suspect status of police general Comr. Gen. Budi Gunawan in a pretrail hearing, had been 'exiled' as an alumnus of the university's law school, not the Minangkabau community.
