Row flares as Indonesian human rights chief accuses Australia of hostility
Indonesia’s national human rights commission has called on the country’s government to reconsider taking any Australian aid for the purpose of curbing asylum-seeker movement in the archipelago.
The Komnas-HAM’s commissioner for external affairs, Nur Kholis, said yesterday both the current approach of the Australian government to asylum-seekers and the opposition’s more extreme policy were hostile to human rights and compromised Indonesia’s policy independence.
