An Indonesian military court sentences four soldiers from the Strategic Intelligence Agency (BAIS) over a March acid attack on activist Andrie Yunus. All four are found guilty of premeditated assault, after the attack leaves Yunus blind in one eye. The court delivers prison terms ranging from about 18 months to three years, according to reporting from multiple outlets. One source says the judge describes the actions as “arrogant,” and all accounts link the sentencing to the same March incident and the same BAIS unit.
Following the arrest shortly after the attack, reports state that BAIS leadership responds to the case. One outlet adds that BAIS head Yudi Abrimantyo steps down after the convictions. Across the coverage, the proceedings center on the court’s finding of premeditation and the injuries Yunus sustains, with the sentences applied to all four defendants who are identified as BAIS members.
