Munir is a true hero

Munir's dedication and compassion for those in trouble was truly an example to us all. His outstanding courage was extremely moving and leaves many Indonesians feeling deeply bereft at his passing away.

For someone relatively young he contributed so much to making Indonesia a kinder place and a more just place to live. I feel strongly that he should be buried in the Kalibata Heroes' Cemetery, for few civilian heroes get buried there now and he truly is a hero for this age.

As a citizen I would also like very much to see him given the "Mahaputra Award" posthumously.
