[BenarNews] The widow of an Indonesian who died in custody after being arrested as a suspected militant wants an autopsy to be done on his remains, but neighbors in her home village are trying to block that. Resistance is so strong in the Central Java village of Pogung, where her late husband is buried, have threatened to expel her or anyone else who supports her plan to exhume his remains in order to determine the cause of death.Siyono, the widow's 34-year-old husband and father of five, was buried in a local graveyard, five days after his arrest by Densus 88, the Indonesian police counter-terror unit. Police suspected Siyono of being connected to a resurgent Jemaah Islamiyah.
Siyono's home province of Central Java is where Indonesian authorities recently arrested rebels during a nationwide crackdown that followed the January 14 terrorist attacks in Jakarta. Eight people, including four insurgents, died in the attacks – the first act of terrorism claimed by Daesh in Southeast Asia.
