Heru Andriyanto – Deputy Attorney General Darmono says his office had no immediate plans to file a case review against former National Intelligence Agency chief Maj. Gen. (ret.) Muchdi Purwoprandjono, whose conviction for the murder of rights activists Munir Said Thalib was controversially overturned.

"What reasons do we have for a case review?" Darmono told reporters in Jakarta on Wednesday. "There is no such a plan at present."

He declined, however, to say whether the prospects of continuing legal action against the retired Army general had been abandoned altogether. "I'm saying that in the meantime, we still don't have reasons to ask for a case review," he said.

A case review requires the petitioners to present new evidence that could overturn the Supreme Court ruling or strong indications that the judges had made a fatal mistake in delivering the verdict.

Several rights groups have demanded the AGO seek a case review against Muchdi, on the grounds that another suspect in the case was only jailed because of a successful case review request by prosecutors.

Former Garuda Indonesia pilot Pollycarpus Priyanto, who had earlier been acquitted, was sentenced to 20 years in jail for administering a fatal dose of arsenic into Munir's drink in the September 2004.

Choirul Anam, director of Human Rights Working Group Indonesia, has accused the AGO of discriminatory policies in the case because a case review has not been lodged against Muchdi.
