View all search resultsThe National Commission on Human Rights (Komnas HAM) has proposed Sept. 7 to be designated as national human rights defenders day, coinciding with the date of the assassination of prominent human rights activist Munir Said Thalib.
If Munir was still alive, he would have said “justice delayed, justice denied”, very similar to the serious human rights crimes that he had fought against in Indonesia. The findings and recommendations of the 2005 independent fact-finding team into the killing, established by then-president Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, were disregarded by his government and the government that followed and have never been made public.
Various societal elements in North Sulawesi have expressed their support for Munir’s widow, Suciwati, and the Commission for Missing Persons and Victims of Violence (Kontras) to seek justice for the death of Munir Said Thalib during Suciwati and Kontras’ three-day visit to the province, which will end on Friday.
Suciwati, the widow of murdered human rights activist Munir Said Thalib, has called on the government to immediately make public a report composed by a fact finding team (TPF) into the death of Munir. She also urged President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo to be consistent in resolving the murder case.
Presidential spokesman Johan Budi said on Thursday that the State Palace had received a copy of the report containing the results of a fact-finding team’s (TPF) investigation into the death of human rights activist Munir Said Thalib.
