Indonesian activist dies after set himself on fire

JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) -- Police say an Indonesian student activist has died after setting himself on fire in front of the presidential palace.

Sondang Hutagalung, 22, set himself ablaze across from the palace in downtown Jakarta.

Police Col. Angesta Romano Yoyol said Sunday that the man died late Saturday at the hospital where he was being treated for burns over 98 percent of his body.

Hutagalung, a law student, was a well-known rights advocate. However, it was still unclear what he was protesting with his self-immolation on Wednesday. Yoyol said a police are investigating.

The activist was last seen joining a Sept. 7 protest demanding justice for Munir Thalib, a prominent activist who died in 2004 of arsenic poisoning during a flight with national carrier Garuda.

Editor's note: Sondang was obviously a dedicated rights advocate who gave his life for his belief in  justice.  This is a quality lacking in the parasites habitating the Probate Court of Cook County who violate the rights of American citizens every day.

On a brighter note,  "The Geneva Convention", Geneva Switzerland, will soon be hearing  the human rights violations foisted upon American citizens by the Probate Court of Cook county. This Shark believes, that an international airing of the corruption in the Probate Court of Cook County, noted world-wide as a "criminal enterprise" may help loose some of the poor souls entrapped in its web.  Lucius Verenus, Schoolmaster, ProbateSharks.com
