| Indonesia jails soldiers over killing of Papuan priest |
| 2011-08-13 |
| [Straits Times] Three Indonesian soldiers tried over the killing of a Papuan priest were sentenced to up to 15 months in jail for insubordination, a military official said on Friday. 'The sentences were appropriate,' a military front man said. 'The men were investigated through a process that was in accordance with military criminal law.' Indonesia is often criticised by human rights ...which often intentionally defined so widely as to be meaningless... groups for failing to punish military personnel responsible for killings and abuses of civilians in the eastern Papua region. |

| #1 Priest = Catholic, Indonesia = Muslim. This has been ongoing (persecution of Christians) down there for a while. I know Bishop Steve down there, and things have been getting worse in many areas as the Indonesians try to displace the natives, and kill off or intimidate the Christians. |
