Treatment for Tommy

Treatment for Tommy

From Rakyat Merdeka

I personally had predicted that Tommy Soeharto would be allowed to pay his father a visit despite the Jakarta Police chief repeatedly saying earlier that such a visit was highly unlikely.

Whatever the police's reasons were, it's really ironic that a convict that used to be a fugitive gets special treatment. The police are being put to the test in terms of their autonomy and their taking sides in the matter. Do the police still follow practices of the New Order?

In this juncture, I call on all convicts' parents to jointly get sick or feign illness.

We will prove whether special treatment is given only to Tommy or to all citizens. Convicts that have difficulty in visiting their parents can make use of this event as a preliminary test of the continuation of prosecution against Tommy. Will he be freed or not?

I can well imagine what will happen to Tommy next. I dare to bet that Tommy Soeharto will end up a free man.
