Police to question 11 in Munir case

JAKARTA: The National Police will re-question 11 people this
week about the murder of human rights activist Munir aboard a
Garuda Indonesia plane traveling from Jakarta to Amsterdam on
Sept. 7.

Police spokesman Insp. Gen. Paiman said on Monday the 11
people to be questioned included Tarmizi Hakim, a doctor who
treated Munir aboard the plane, Pollycarpus Budihari Priyanto, a
Garuda pilot who gave up his business-class seat to Munir during
the Jakarta-Singapore leg of the flight, and Garuda crew members
who served Munir food and drinks.

"We have not yet declared any suspects in this case. We merely
want to question these people further," Paiman said.

Authorities in the Netherlands earlier declared Munir died of
arsenic poisoning. Investigators have so far questioned 55
people, including 41 Garuda crew members. --JP
