Thursday, 11 November, 2010 | 13:07 WIB TEMPO Interactive, London: Suciwati, the wife of human right activist, Munir, who died of poisoning, is scheduled to meet with members of the British parliament in Westminster, London. This is part of the Action Committee for Munir Solidarity’s agenda in the UK. Before going to parliament, Suciwati also gave a public lecture titled "The Munir Memorial Lecture" in London, last Tuesday (November 9). The event was held by The College of Law, London, and was attended by over 100 law students.

Police form a new team of investigators in the Munir case after the Supreme Court acquits Pollycarpus. A number of members of the Fact-Finding Team doubt that the new investigators will be able to advance the case absent any serious support from the President. What new facts are needed to shed new light on Munir’s mysterious death?

Polisi membentuk tim penyidik baru kasus Munir setelah Mahkamah Agung membebaskan Pollycarpus. Sejumlah anggota Tim Pencari Fakta meragukan kinerja para penyidik baru tanpa dukungan serius Presiden. Fakta apa saja yang harus dikejar lagi untuk menemukan titik terang dalam misteri kematian Munir?

THE death of Munir Said Thalib has not quite been understood and accepted by 8-year-old Alif Allende and his 4-year-old sister, Diva Suukyi. One night, they both woke up and cried. “I miss Abah,” sobbed Alif. Abah is how siblings Alif and Diva refer to their father, the late Munir, who was killed by poisoning on September 7, 2004. The human rights activist died en route to the Netherlands on a Garuda Indonesia flight. Two years have gone by but Munir’s death remains shrouded in mystery. A number of names ended up as suspects but the real people behind this abominable deed are still free. This enfuriates Suciwati, 38, Munir’s widow, and is what keeps her campaign for the truth.

Kematian Munir Said Thalib belum bisa dimengerti Alif Allende, 8 tahun, dan Diva Suukyi, 4 tahun. Suatu hari kedua bocah itu terbangun tengah malam sambil menangis. “Saya kangen Abah,” kata Alif sambil terisak.
