Jakarta – Suciwati, the wife of murdered human rights activist Munir Said Thalib, said the plan by the Hague, the Dutch capital, to name one of its streets after Munir was ironic because while the rest of the world acknowledged him, the government has not solved his murder.

"This is irony. [The President] should be embarrassed because Indonesia has yet to change while he strengthens the former regime," she was quoted as saying by news portal tempointeraktif.com.

The Dutch city's proposal came as Suciwati was in The Hague to participate in the "Movies That Matter" film festival. She appeared in Unjust, a film by Josefina Bergten about three widows from Indonesia, Thailand and Sri Lanka who are demanding justice for the murders of their husbands.

Munir was poisoned on a Garuda Indonesia flight from Jakarta to Amsterdam in 2004.
