Court cases in Aceh to proceed

KENDARI, South East Sulawesi: Minister for Justice and Human
Rights Hamid Awaluddin said that all legal cases currently in
process in Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam will continue even though
documents and papers in the cases might have been swept away by
the tsunami that hit the province two weeks ago.

He said that courts would be able to use copies of any missing
documents, which are available at the Attorney General's Office
and the Supreme Court.

Hamid also said that the reconstruction of infrastructure in
the province, including the court system, should be prioritized,
to allow ongoing and scheduled trials to proceed. --Antara
