BATAM, Riau: Former Riau Islands regent Huzrin Hood's appeal
over his graft conviction was turned down by the Supreme Court on
Friday but Huzrin was temporarily released from custody eight
hours later on health grounds.

Huzrin, convicted of corruption offenses, was sent to Tanjung
Pinang Hospital after he complained he was short of breath.

He was sentenced to two years in jail by a local district
court here for irregularities in the Riau Islands Regency 2001
and 2002 budgets, totaling Rp 3.4 billion (US$357,894). It is not
known when Huzrin will go back to jail. -- JP
