Bashir 'edgy' around women, separatists
Abu Bakar Bashir, the Indonesian Muslim cleric on trial for treason and terrorism, will be moved to a prison because he is uncomfortable being detained near Maluku separatist leaders and women at police headquarters. One of Bashir's lawyers Muhammad Assegaf says the court has granted the request and Bashir is to be moved to Salemba state penitentiary in central Jakarta. "He feels uncomfortable being detained near people whose political convictions are totally different from his," Mr Assegaf said. "Besides, women are also among the detainees there so he is kind of edgy."
It's all those women's prison movies he's watched...
He says among the detainees at national police headquarters is Alex Manuputty, whose mainly-Christian separatist group is campaigning for a separate state in eastern Maluku province.
