London – More than 100 students from the College of Law, London Moorgate, attended the Munir Memorial public lecture in the UK, where the slain human rights activist's widow, Suciwati, spoke.

She said her fight for justice was not only about Munir, who was poisoned onboard a flight operated by Indonesian flag carrier Garuda to Amsterdam, but for all Indonesians who experienced injustice.

Under the sponsorship of UK-based Tapol, Suciwati came to the country with Rafendi Djamin, the executive director of the Human Rights Working Group (HRWG), a coalition of Indonesian NGOs. The pair was scheduled to meet with the British parliament, Antara news agency reported on Thursday.

Rafendi said the public lecture was part of a series of academic events on Munir. He said many believed Munir's case was unfinished.

Also speaking at the lecture was Geoffrey Robertson, the author of Crimes Against Humanity: The Struggle for Global Justice. He spoke about the international dimensions of Munir's case.
