Jakarta – Human rights activists plan to file a review with the Judicial Commission on Tuesday questioning the integrity of the justices handling the 1984 Tanjung Priok killings.

The move was made after a panel of Supreme Court justices overruled in mid-January an appeal filed by the prosecutors against Maj. Gen. (ret) Pranowo, the then Jakarta Military Police chief.

Pranowo was accused of torturing dozens of Muslim activists while they were detained in the military's cramped detention cells.

An official report said that at least 12 Muslim activists were shot dead during a demonstration outside a police station in Tanjung Priok, while dozens of others were injured or disappeared.

"Pranowo's case shows the Supreme Court has never been serious in dealing with cases of human rights violation. All those tried were eventually cleared of all charges," Usman Hamid, a coordinator for the National Commission for Missing Persons and Victims of the Violence, said.
