Full Description
After the public release of the torture video the Indonesian government promised to investigate but now claims it cannot identify the perpetrators and is dragging it's feet on taking action.
In the 10-minute torture video previously released to the public on October 18, soldiers are seen kicking Kiwo's face and chest, burning his face with a cigarette, applying burning wood to his penis, and placing a knife to Gire’s neck. Indonesia is party to the UN Convention Against Torture and has strict obligations to promptly investigate and prosecute all incidents of torture and to ensure that victims and witnesses are protected against all ill-treatment or intimidation as a consequence of any complaint or evidence given.
