Banyumas Council speaker questioned

PURWOKERTO, Central Java: Banyumas Council Speaker Tri Waluyo
was questioned for two hours by police on Saturday over his
alleged involvement in an attempt to foil a disputed land
execution which eventually led to an attack on the execution
officials.

"This case will be handled according to the law regardless of
his position as district council spokesman," District Police
chief Let. Col. Imam Basuki told reporters on Saturday.

Imam said he was still waiting for the results of the
questioning in order to determine whether Tri would be considered
as a suspect or not.

Meanwhile Tri's lawyer Budi Cahyono told reporters that his
client arrived at the location of the land execution at Jl. A.
Yani after hearing that there would be a large gathering at the
location to abort the execution.

Budi said that Tri did not attack the execution officials but
only asked for the execution to be postponed in order to avoid
unrest.(08/45)
