JAKARTA: A military court in Indonesia on Wednesday sentenced four soldiers to up to three years in prison for an acid attack on an activist critical of perceived militarization of the government.
The four, all members of the military’s Strategic Intelligence Agency (BAIS), were found guilty of premeditated assault for the attack in March that left Andrie Yunus, 27, blind in one eye.
They were arrested shortly after the attack and BAIS head Yudi Abrimantyo stepped down in what officials said was a “form of responsibility.”
