Jakarta. The Indonesian Military says it welcomes the United States governments pledge to closely monitor the trials of three Indonesian soldiers accused of torturing two Papuans.
TNI spokesman First Admiral Iskandar Sitompul said on Friday that the military tribunal — described by Human rights activists as a sham — was open to the public and anyone was permitted to attend the hearings.
“For us, interest in the case from anyone is not a form of [foreign] intervention. The trial is open to the public,” Iskandar said.
He claimed, however, that the legal process must be conducted independently by those involved in the legal process.
“[The United States] knows this and they will respect it.”
