Viewing cable 06JAKARTA8687, TIMIKA DEFENDANTS STILL REFUSE TO APPEAR

If you are new to these pages, please read an introduction on the structure of a cable as well as how to discuss them with others. See also the FAQs

Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:
  • The top box shows each cables unique reference number, when and by whom it originally was sent, and what its initial classification was.
  • The middle box contains the header information that is associated with the cable. It includes information about the receiver(s) as well as a general subject.
  • The bottom box presents the body of the cable. The opening can contain a more specific subject, references to other cables (browse by origin to find them) or additional comment. This is followed by the main contents of the cable: a summary, a collection of specific topics and a comment section.
To understand the justification used for the classification of each cable, please use this WikiSource article as reference.

Discussing cables
If you find meaningful or important information in a cable, please link directly to its unique reference number. Linking to a specific paragraph in the body of a cable is also possible by copying the appropriate link (to be found at theparagraph symbol). Please mark messages for social networking services like Twitter with the hash tags #cablegate and a hash containing the reference ID e.g. #06JAKARTA8687.

REF: A. JAKARTA 8383 (OPENING OF TIMIKA TRIAL DEFERRED) 
 
     B. JAKARTA 8114 (TRIAL OF TIMIKA SUSPECTS) 
 
1. (SBU) The trial of Anthonious Wamang, Agustinus Anggaibak 
and five other co-conspirators in the 2002 murders of two 
Amcits in Timika, Papua was delayed again when the defendants 
failed to appear for the second straight week (ref A). 
Defense lawyers from the Indonesian Legal Aid and Human 
Rights Association (PBHI) continue to insist that the trial 
should be held in Timika.  As expected, Chief Judge Nurdin 
ordered that the suspects be compelled to appear at the next 
session, scheduled for July 18, and we expect that the 
Supreme Court's decision to change the venue of the trial 
from Papua to Jakarta will stand.  Journalists from both 
Indonesia and Australia attended the session, but unlike the 
first session no protesters were present. 
 
2. (SBU) Separately, we met with Patsy Spiers' privately 
contracted attorney, Luhut M. P. Pangaribuan on July 10.  A 
former President of PBHI, Pangaribuan stated that he 
personally knows both the defense team and Chief Judge 
Nurdin, whom he considers to be very capable. He also stated 
that the defense was not aware of his role as Ms. Spiers' 
private attorney.  We emphasized our desire to keep in 
regular contact with them in order to ensure that Ms. Spiers 
has the full support she needs.  An attorney from 
Pangaribuan's office attended the July 11 session.
