Jakarta Globe:
Illiterate Farmer Faces 10-Year Sentence after Taking Piece of Wood
(He) should have stolen a few million dollars or killed an Ahmadiyah instead…. what a screwed place this is becoming- Says DrDez
An illiterate farmer never imagined he would have to spend months in a police detention center for taking a teak branch from a plantation in Kendal, Central Java.
Rosidi, 41, has been detained for almost three months, leaving his wife and three children at home without the household’s main breadwinner, after his arrest in February.
The case reached Jakarta on Friday, prompting lawmakers and activists to demand his release, calling the detention unfair.
Lawmaker Nasir Jamil said that Rosidi’s case was ironic because many other people have walked free after conducting massive illegal logging that caused natural disasters and trillions of rupiah in state losses.
The comment s by Dr DeZ are very appropriate if we recall last year Judges at Serang District Court in Indonesia handed down six months’ imprisonment to Deden Darmawan Sudjana, an Ahmadi defendant in a deadly mob attack that killed three Ahmadiyah followers in Cikeusik, Banten earlier that year.
The killer himself was awarded only three months. This is the state of justice; 6 months for disobedience and 3 months for MURDER!
We can call is upside down ‘justice’…?
