| Indonesia to send fact finding team on Aussie treatment of Muslims |
| 2002-11-14 |
| Antara Indonesia's House of Representatives disclosed here Thursday that it would send to Australia a team of 10 legislators to inquire into the alleged high-handed treatment of Indonesian Moslems by the country`s security authorities. Ibrahim Ambong, chairman of the House defense and foreign affairs commission said he and nine commission members are planning to meet with Indonesian Moslems living in Perth, Melbourne, Canberra and Sydney, whose homes had been raided by officers of the Australian Security and Intelligence Office (ASIO) on suspicion of terrorism. 'We want to get first-hand information on their living condition and to ascertain their status in Australia,' Ambong said. Sounds fair, doesn't it? After all, Australia's sent a team to investigate allegations that Indonesians used dynamite against its citizens in Bali... Ummm... By the way: how many Indons have been dynamited in Australia lately? Just to be on the safe side, maybe Indonesia would like to have all its expats back? |
