Philippines Detains 177 Indonesians
The Philippine government detained 177 Indonesian haj pilgrims at Ninoy Aquino International Airport on Friday two weeks ago to check the validity of their passports. A spokesman for the Indonesian foreign ministry, Arrmanatha Nasir, confirmed the reports. "We verified their Indonesian passports," he said in Jakarta last week.
Immigration officials are working with police to investigate the case, which centers on a scheme to send pilgrims to Mecca on fake passports. At least seven travel agents are allegedly involved: Taskiah, Aulad Amin, Aulad Amin Tours Makassar, Shafwa Makassar, Travel Hade El Barde, Guidance Group Haj (KBIH) Arafat and Arafat KBIH Pandaan.
Wanted: Munir Inquiry Results
Suciwati, widow of the late human rights activist Munir Said Thalib, has asked the Central Information Commission (KIP) to summon former President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) in connection with the results of an investigation into Munir's murder. The inquiry results were delivered to SBY in 2005, "but they still haven't been revealed", Suciwati said on Tuesday last week.
The fact-finding team was formed on the basis of a presidential decree. It stipulates, among other things, that the government announce the inquiry results. Munir was murdered by poison aboard a Garuda flight bound for the Netherlands on September 7, 2004. At an information commission meeting on Tuesday last week, the investigation team's secretary Usman Hamid said SBY had received the final report.
