Surojo Bimantoro if he is released from house arrest, Antara reported. "I will negotiate with the National Police chief to discuss the possibility of revoking my pretrial lawsuit against him. Therefore, I want this trial to be adjourned until tomorrow (Friday) morning," Ja'far told the South Jakarta District Court hearing, presided over by judge Syamsul Ali.
