webfact Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Lawyer of Indonesia cleric says his jail conditions inhumaneNINIEK KARMINI, Associated PressJAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — A lawyer for the spiritual leader of the militants who carried out the 2002 Bali bombings is urging Indonesian authorities to end his "inhumane" treatment in prison.The radical Islamic cleric Abu Bakar Bashir has been confined to a tiny isolation cell on the Nusa Kambangan prison island as part of a broad tightening of security in the wake of the Jan. 14 suicide bombings in the Indonesian capital Jakarta.Authorities say isolation measures, which are also being applied to other top convicted militants, are needed to stop the ailing 77-year-old Bashir from radicalizing prisoners and to cut him off from extremist networks.Lawyer Mohammad Mahendradatta said Thursday that Bashir is kept in his 2 square meter (22 square foot) cell for 23 hours a day and sleeps on thin mats over a cement floor without blankets.He is denied reading materials and personal items, regularly awakened from his sleep because of mosquitos, and consultations with medical staff take place behind barriers."The condition of his cell is simply shocking and inhumane treatment against him is causing his health to deteriorate," Mahendradatta said.The claim of mistreatment comes amid heightened concerns among the public and rights groups about possible extrajudicial killings following the recent death in custody of an alleged militant.Police said the militant, known as Siyono, had concealed a handgun and attacked officers. But an autopsy conducted last week at the request of Siyono's wife and backed by Muhammadiyah, Indonesia's second-largest Muslim group, revealed that the 34-year-old died from trauma to the chest and had no defensive wounds on his body.The findings prompted Indonesia's parliament to summon the national police chief and the anti-terrorism agency chief to a hearing next week.Bashir, known as the spiritual leader of al-Qaida-linked militants behind the Bali bombings that killed 202 people, was sentenced to 15 years in prison in 2011.Prosecutors said he was a key player in supporting a militant training camp in Aceh that brought together men from almost every known extremist group in predominantly Muslim Indonesia. A higher court later cut the sentence to nine years.Akbar Hadi Prabowo, spokesman for the directorate general overseeing prisons, said Bashir has appropriate facilities for an isolation prisoner."The information we have is that Bashir is in a state of good health," he said. "There is no mistreatment against Bashir, he gets proper facilities for the inmate who is placed in isolation."Mahendradatta said his assessment of Bashir's prison conditions was based on recent access by his team of lawyers.-- (c) Associated Press 2016-04-15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andaman Al Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Hopefully he is pondering on the dichotomy that as he is one of the only God's chosen people and he has slaughtered innocent people in the name of God, why Allah does not reward him by whisking him out of his 2x2 cell and giving him his own paradise Island full of fast cars, boats and Indonesian hookers. Answer!..................because there is no G....... oh never mind, what's the point. The reality is he should stay in his 2 x 2 room until his bones rot. It is the only justice there will be.

billd766 Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Bombing all those people was inhumane to... But they were non-believers so they didn't matter. He on the other hand is a Muslim cleric and is far more important. There is some logic in my post but it is a twisted logic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Explain that the god many believe in has a hell for people like him an his cell is a palace compared to hell...

ggt Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 There is a valid reason that living conditions in prison...are not like a night at the Hilton or Marriott... Maybe some would-be extremist will consider this when planning some dastardly deed...and not do it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
