Indonesia: Acquittal Bolsters Impunity for Munir's Murder

Indonesia: Acquittal Bolsters Impunity for Munir's Murder

(New York, October 6, 2006) – The Indonesian Supreme Court's acquittal of the only person convicted for the murder of leading human rights activist Munir Said Thalib highlights the failure of the Indonesian justice system to combat impunity, Human Rights Watch said today.

In December 2005, a criminal court in Jakarta convicted Pollycarpus Budihari Priyanto, an airline pilot traveling as a passenger on the Garuda flight to the Netherlands on which Munir was poisoned, of premeditated conspiracy to murder, and sentenced him to 14 years in prison. This verdict was upheld on appeal last April. The Supreme Court decision on October 3 to overturn the conviction means that no one has been convicted for the killing, despite compelling evidence of a conspiracy. The Court upheld Pollycarpus' conviction and sentence of two years for falsifying documents.

India: Child Labor Law Welcomed, But Needs Enforcing

India: Child Labor Law Welcomed, But Needs Enforcing

(New York, October 5, 2006) – The Indian government has taken a step forward by enacting a law to ban domestic work and some other forms of labor by children under age 14, Human Rights Watch said today. The law goes into effect on October 10, but to be effective, the Indian
authorities will need to improve upon their weak enforcement of existing child labor protections.

The new law covers restaurant and hotel work as well as domestic labor. However, it provides no protection for children aged 14 to 18, who also face exploitation and abuse by their employers.
