Convicted GAM members relocated

BANDUNG: Five prisons in West Java are ready to accept 74 inmates
convicted for being members of the banned Free Aceh Movement
(GAM) separatist group, a senior official said on Wednesday.

The inmates, including GAM top negotiator Sofyan Ibrahim Tiba,
will be moved to the prisons from their cells in the Aceh Police
Headquarters on Wednesday, said Sukotjo, the head of Correctional
Institutions at the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights' West
Java office. The transfer would be made because Aceh
penitentiaries had no more room for inmates, he said.

The prisons included one in Bandung, two in Cirebon and one in
Majalengka and Indramayu. -- JP
