London (Antara Bali) - Amnesty International said Indonesia has failed in resolving the case of Munir after eight years have passed since the murder of the country's leading human right activist.
The authorities in Indonesia should guarantee full accountability of the murder of Munir Said Thalib (Munir), Josef Roy Benedict, a human rights campaigner at the Amnesty International Secretariat told ANTARA news agency in London on Tuesday.
Benedict said failure to bring those responsible to the justice of law after those years gave rise to doubt about the seriousness of Indonesia to resolve the case and break immunity in Indonesia.
He recalled in 2004, President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono said the ability to resolve the case would be "a test to our history in the context of the process of democratic reform."
Amnesty International director wrote a letter urging the representative of the Indonesian government to call for the country's police and attorney general to hold a new independent investigation of the case and bring suspects in line with the international standard of Human Rights.(IGT)
