Indonesian
newspapers zoom in on extradition treaty
By INDONESIA CORRESPONDENT, Salim
Osman
JAKARTA - INDONESIAN newspapers yesterday gave prominent coverage
to the agreement on the extradition and defence treaties with
Singapore that will be signed in Bali tomorrow.
All newspapers carried the story on their front pages but focused
mostly on the extradition treaty rather than the defence
pact.
Extraditing Indonesian
fugitives said to be hiding in Singapore was the main focus of all
the reports.
Afternoon daily Sinar Harapan, while welcoming the treaties,
cautioned that they still needed to be ratified by the parliaments
of both countries.
International law expert Hikmah Hanto told the daily that there
would be a time lag before the extradition treaty came into
effect.
'Hence while we are busy ratifying the treaty, the fugitives wanted
for committing corruption would have time to pack up and leave
Singapore. We will not be able to extradite them here,' he
said.
According to him, Singapore did not have much interest in the
extradition treaty.
'It's Indonesia which wants it so much because many Indonesians
found guilty of corruption are hiding in Singapore,' he said.
