VIVAnews - The representative of the Indonesian government will not bring the issue of Human Rights activist Munir Said Thalib's killing to the UN Human Rights Council Assembly which will be held by 2-27 March 2009 in Geneva, Switzerland.
"I won't be surprised. Matters on Human Rights are never taken into account [in Indonesia]," Suciwati, wife to the late Munir, told VIVAnews on Tuesday, Feb. 10.
Suciwati said that in the 2005 Human Rights Council Assembly, it was she who brought forth Munir's murder to the forum. This year, she and several Human Rights activists would possibly bring the issue to Geneva.
"We will also report other cases on Human Rights. However, Munir's [killing] is the most important case because the murderer is still on the street," said Suciwati.
Munir's case, said Suciwati, has to do with upholding human rights.
Suciwati implies that the government is 'suffering from amnesia' because many cases involving human rights violations are discarded and forgotten. "The public must not forget [about the case] as well," said Suciwati.
Earlier, Head of Civil Rights and Politics Mechanism of Directorate of Human Rights at the Department of Foreign Affairs, Diana ES Sutikno, said that Munir's case is not attached as a special agenda in the UN Human Rights Council Assembly.
