Bashir appeals his sedition conviction
Abu Bakar Bashir, a Muslim cleric sentenced to four years in jail for sedition has appealed his verdict to the High Court here, his attorneys said Wednesday. Bashir's attorney Mohammad Mahendratta said prosecutors had offered no evidence showing his client wanted to overthrow the Indonesian government. Bashir was merely advocating sharia (Islamic law), the lawyer said.
