Todung Mulya Lubis, the head of former Playboy Indonesia editor Erwin Arnada’s legal team, said that the Supreme Court’s acquittal is a victory for the freedom of the press.
Todung said that, with Erwin’s release, the court decided that all legal cases concerning press publication should refer to the Press Law, not the Criminal Code.
"In Erwin's case, he was sued on a moral charge, which is not the area of the press board," he said. "This case is good jurisprudence for other Press Law cases."
He added that the court had shown its commitment to the Press Law. (rpt)
