The wives of three suspected terrorists are set to file a human-rights violation report against Central Sulawesi Police over difficulties in meeting their husbands in police custody.
They plan to file the report with the National Commission on Human Rights (Komnas HAM) on Tuesday.
Akbar Panguriseng, an attorney of Muslim Lawyers Team, said on Monday that the women demanded to see their husbands.
"They want to meet their husbands, as is their right guaranteed by the law," he said as quoted by kompas.com.
Akbar provided no details on the three terrorism suspects, who were arrested in Poso, Tojo Una-Una and North Morowali Utara, all in Central Sulawesi on Dec. 31. The wives have apparently been unable to meet them since the day they were apprehended.
They would report the Central Sulawesi Police to the provincial office of Komnas HAM, according to Akbar, who said he had accompanied the wives to meet their husbands at Central Sulawesi Police on Dec 8, to no avail.
The police officers on the day apparently said all seven suspected terrorists were in custody with Sigi Police. However, when the wives and Akbar went to the Sigi Police station, they were told visiting hours had ended.
"We went back to Sigi Police the following day, but we failed to meet the husbands," Akbar said. (afr/rin)
