An Indonesian military court has sentenced four military intelligence officers for their involvement in an acid attack on human rights activist Andrie Yunus.
The court found the officers guilty of carrying out a planned assault against Yunus, who is known for criticizing the growing influence of the military in civilian affairs.
The sentences ranged from one and a half years to three years in prison. Prosecutors stated that the attack was motivated by anger over Yunus's activism and public criticism of military policies.
Yunus was attacked in Jakarta on March 12 while riding his motorcycle. Two men threw acid at him, causing severe burns and leaving him blind in one eye.
The case sparked widespread condemnation from human rights groups and international organizations.
The incident also renewed concerns about freedom of expression and the safety of activists in Indonesia. The United Nations condemned the attack and called for accountability.
Yunus, citing health concerns and lack of trust in the military court system, did not attend the hearings.
