Indonesian court to try Garuda secretary over activist murder

Rohainil Aini is accused of issuing a falsified document which allowed an off-duty pilot, Pollycarpus Priyanto, to board a flight taken by Munir from Jakarta to Singapore and on to Amsterdam.

The Supreme Court last year overturned a conviction of Priyanto for poisoning Munir with arsenic but state prosecutors are requesting a case review to see the original verdict reinstated.

Priyanto is accused of links to the powerful Indonesian intelligence agency.

"All objections are not legally justifiable and therefore should be rejected. This case will be continued," read Makasau, head of the panel of judges hearing the case at the Central Jakarta court.

Hearings so far had focused on whether the administrative and procedural requirements of the case were met.
