Jakarta – Minister of Foreign Affairs Hassan Wirayuda said on Wednesday the Swedish government will send a team of prosecutors and police officers to Indonesia to interview a number of separatist Free Aceh Movement (GAM) figures.

"They haven't set the exact date," Wirayuda said after a meeting with President Megawati Soekarnoputri at the State Palace.

He said the Swedish prosecutors and police officers would visit Indonesia to follow up the Indonesian team's visit to Sweden recently.

Hassan said that if Sweden decided to arrest the leaders, including GAM founder Hassan di Tiro, they would be brought to justice there and not extradited to Indonesia.
