Munir's wife requests autopsy results

JAKARTA: The wife of rights campaigner Munir, who died in September aboard a flight to the Netherlands, has asked the government for the results of an autopsy performed on her husband.

"As his wife, I should be the first person to receive my husband's autopsy results, not the government," Suciwati said during a press conference hosted by rights group Imparsial on Thursday.

Imparsial activist Rusdi Marpaung said the Dutch government sent the autopsy results to Indonesia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which failed to forward the results to Munir's family. -- JP
