BANDA ACEH, Aceh: Two foreign nationals, Lesley Jane McCulloch
and Joy Lee Sadler have requested the suspension of their
detention due to their deteriorating state of health.

Lawyer Rufriadi said on Wednesday that the suspension was
necessary as both women needed medical attention to treat their
illnesses.

Rufriadi did not reveal the diseases the two women were
suffering from.

The request had been submitted to the Banda Aceh prosecutor's
office, Rufriadi said, without revealing when that had happened.

McCulloch, a 42-year old British scholar and Sadler, a 52-year
old American nurse, have been detained in Banda Aceh Police
Headquarters for two months over visa violations. --Antara
