QUESTION

  • A man involved in waving a South Maluku Republic flag in front of President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono last year was sentenced to life in prison. Do you think the punishment is fair?

Answers

  • ANDRI T - Bandung, Indonesia

    It is not fair. There are still many big corruptors who deserve to get life in prison instead of the waver of an RMS flag.

  • SIMON - Jakarta, Indonesia

    The judges from the Supreme Court to the lowest courts have no independence. They are scared to issue proper judgments which may anger their sponsors.

  • KIKI - Jakarta, Indonesia

    Fair? Indonesia’s legal institutions? Since when? And justice is (not) for all.

  • ALINE - Paris

    I was told that Indonesia was a democratic country. What kind of democracy is it? Yudhoyono should be ashamed!

  • NISA PERTIWI - Bandung, Indonesia

    I think the punishment is fair because that man was against the government. His action is rebellious against the motherland.
