Munir's autopsy report next month

JAKARTA: The post-mortem report of prominent rights activist
Munir, who died onboard a Garuda flight heading to the
Netherlands early last month, is expected to be issued next
month, his colleague said.

Usman Hamid, chairman of the Commission for Missing Persons
and Victims of Violence (Kontras) which Munir co-founded, said on
Friday the Schiphol airport authority had told him that they
expected to issue the autopsy report in November.

"They said the report will be sent to Munir's family only but
a copy will go to Indonesia's government," said Usman, who flew
to Amsterdam to collect Munir's remains.

Munir's family and fellow activists demanded an autopsy
following reports that he died after suffering abdominal pain. He
vomited several times some three hours after the plane left
Singapore. -- JP
