April 12, p1

The Dutch government'€™s decision to name a street after the late human rights campaigner Munir Said Thalib could serve as a reminder that the Indonesian government has done little to bring closure to his murder.

The street, located in The Hague, Netherlands, will open Tuesday, 11 years after Munir died from arsenic poisoning during a flight toAmsterdam.

Your comments:

In my point of view, Pollycarpus was only a scapegoat in this case. He was allegedly paid by the main actor to play the game and to take the blame.

The main actor must be a person who has '€œpower'€ and money in this bribable country. No matter how much time could have been spent, the case would never have been solved.

For the family, I think it should just let the case go, don'€™t waste your time, energy and money any longer in a game you know you will never win.

Suciwati, do not expect Jokowi to stand up for Munir or for human rights. He is not what he wanted us to believe he was during the presidential campaign. He has duped us.

We should have a Jl. Munir in every major city of ours.

It was the Indonesian government that allegedly murdered Munir. Why would they investigate themselves?
