Hestiana Dharmastuti, Jakarta – The law is impartial, it does not recognise position or rank so whoever is guilty of murdering Munir must be indicted by the courts.

Suciwati, the widow of the late Munir, welcomes the national police's plans to reveal a new suspect in the death of the human rights activist.

"I will be please it there is progress. [But] It mustn't be some small-fry on the ground, but the intellectual actor that must be quickly brought to justice", said Suciwati when speaking to Detik.com on Friday April 6.

The mother of two children is also calling on the national police to demonstrate their courage in investigation the murder of Munir that took place on September 7, 2004.

"As a member of the United Nations Human Rights Commission, in the eyes of the world the credibility of the Republic of Indonesian is at stake with the investigation of this case. I will continue to put pressure on the government", she said. (aan/nvt)
