Indonesia to send judges to handle Maluku separatist trial
A team of Indonesian judges will head to the riot-torn province of Maluku to handle the trial of a
separatist leader accused of illegally flying his group's flag.
The official Antara newsagency says the judges will be handling the case of Alex Manuputty,
the executive chairman of the Front for the Sovereignty of Maluku.
He was arrested late last month for presiding over a ceremony to hoist the South Maluku
Republic Flag in the front garden of his home in Ambon.
The flag, hoisted between the Indonesian flag and that of the United Nations, flew only briefly
before being hauled down by police.
The separatist movement was banned by Indonesia's first president Sukarno and its followers
were allowed to either remain in the country or leave for the Netherlands, the former colonial
power.
