Jakarta – Suciwati, the widow of murdered human rights activist Munir, met with legislators Monday, a week after an earlier call on the House of Representatives from a former intelligence deputy chief implicated in the case.

Urging the House to keep up its pressure on the government for a new investigation into the murder, Suciwati said she regularly called National Police chief Gen. Sutanto to find out what the police were doing. "However, Pak Sutanto has not returned my calls," she said.

In December, the Central Jakarta District Court sentenced Garuda pilot Pollycarpus Budihari Priyanto to 14 years' jail for the murder of Munir, who according to an autopsy report died after being given a massive dose of arsenic. In their verdict, however, the judges said evidence had surfaced in Pollycarpus' trial that proved "he did not act alone" and they urged a further investigation into the murder.

The activist was found dead aboard a Garuda Airways flight bound for Amsterdam on Sept. 7, 2004.

In a statement read out at Monday's meeting, the secretary of the Munir Solidarity Group, Usman Hamid, referred to the Jakarta court's ruling.

The court noted that during the weeks before the murder, Pollycarpus had frequently called a cell phone number registered to former National Intelligence Agency (BIN) deputy chief Muchdi Purwopranjono.

Muchdi testified in court he loaned out his cell phone to subordinates and had no recollection of the calls. The former BIN officer met with House Speaker Agung Laksono last week to protest his innocence in the case.

On Monday, Suciwati met with Agung and Taufikurrachman, the chairman of the House team set up to look into the case.

Andi Widjajanto, a former colleague of Munir and a defense analyst, said resolving Munir's case "would be the entry point to reforming the country's intelligence system".

So far the investigation into Munir's murder has only proved that BIN is unprofessional, non-transparent and cannot be held accountable, Andi said.
