Poso bombing suspect released

PALU: Poso Police in Central Sulawesi released bombing suspect
Mohammad Syafri Kuna alias Andreas, 26, due to lack of evidence.

Andreas' father, Dahlan Kuna, told Antara on Friday -- a day
after his son's release -- that the police should have freed
Andreas on Monday but this had not happened.

"The police said that Mohammad was released in good health. In
reality, however, my son had to be treated at Poso General
Hospital due to the abuse he sustained at the hands of the
police," he said.

The release certificate was signed after doctors allowed
Andreas to leave the hospital.

Andreas was detained on June 3 following the bombings at
Tentena on May 28 that killed over 20 people.

Based on Law No. 15/2003 on terrorism, however, a suspect may
not be detained for more than a week if there is insufficient
evidence, which meant that Andreas should have been released on
June 10.

Andreas said that several parts of his body were still sore,
and he often suffered from bouts of trembling. He said police had
acted too hastily in detaining him. -- Antara
