Broken laws broken bodies: Torture and the right to redress in Indonesia
In 1981 the government of Indonesia enacted a new criminal procedure code that sought to reduce the likelihood of tor- ture in detention. More than a decade later, the aims of the law have yet to be fulfilled: torture of criminal and political detainees remains endemic; the possibility of meaningful redress for abuses remains slim.
BROKEN LAWS, BROKEN BODIES examines the enor- mous hurdles that victims of torture face in seeking redress for the violations of their basic rights. Detainees, particularly those accused of political offenses, often find themselves trapped in incommunicado detention, their right to a lawyer denied. Prosecutors do nothing to stop torture, while the judges side with the authoritise at the expense of individual rights.
