Jakarta – Indonesia Corruption Watch has criticized Justice and Human Rights Minister Patrialis Akbar over his inconsistency in upholding restrictions of jail-term remission to graft and terrorism convicts.

"There is a rule that forbids corrupt officials and terrorists to receive a jail term remission," ICW activist Emerson Yuntho told tempointeraktif.com Wednesday, citing 2006's government regulation.

Previously, Patrialis said that all inmates, including graft and terrorist convicts, deserve their right to receive jail sentence reductions if they meet the required conditions.

"The minister has violated the government regulation," added Emerson.
