        "content": "<p>Law Minister Supratman Andi Agtas has opened the possibility of\nclassifying forest and land fires as ecological terrorism in\nlegislation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt will certainly be [included in the law], because the instruction\nearlier to the Forestry Minister and the Environment and Forestry\nMinister was the same, as he stated explicitly,\u201d Supratman said at the\nPresidential Palace in Jakarta on Wednesday (21 October).<\/p>\n<p>Supratman said the matter would be covered by legislation, but did\nnot specify which regulation would be used. He said the priority was to\nensure firm law enforcement against those responsible for forest and\nland fires.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll the laws are already in place; if anything needs to be improved,\nit can simply be added,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The term \u201cecological terrorism\u201d was first used by Prabowo Subianto.\nAt a plenary Cabinet meeting on Wednesday (21 October), he referred to\nthe fires as \u201cenvironmental terrorism\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Prabowo said investigations into forest and land fires showed that\nthey were not caused solely by natural factors, but also involved human\nintervention. He called on police to investigate and take action against\nthose behind the fires.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe should regard this as environmental terrorism, a crime against\nhumanity, because what they are doing endangers the health of millions\nof our people,\u201d Prabowo said.<\/p>",
