Indonesian arrest could spell end to military immunity
Updated
Indonesian police have arrested a former top military and intelligence officer as a suspect in the murder of a prominent activist four years ago. Muchdi Purwopranjono has been charged with the murder of Munir Thalib, who died of arsenic poisoning. Purwopranjono was a major general in the military and became Deputy Chief of the State Intelligence Agency, known as BIN. His name has been routinely linked with Pollycarpus Priyanto, who was jailed for 20 years in January for the murder of Munir.
