Trial begins for Indonesian service members in acid attack on activist
An Indonesian military court has opened the trial of four service members accused of carrying out an acid attack on a prominent human rights activist.
The case has reignited concerns about military impunity.
Three Indonesian navy marines and one air force officer are charged with serious assault in the attack on a human rights lawyer and senior activist.
Prosecutors allege the four men acted together but describe the motive as personal reasons, a conclusion that has drawn sharp criticism from human rights groups.
The four service members were all assigned to military intelligence.
