Indonesia rejects US report on abuse violations by police



AP , JAKARTA 
Indonesian denied yesterday that any of its security forces trained in the US 
had a history of human-rights violations as alleged in a report released by a 
US congressional investigative office.

The US Government Accountability Office said in the report issued on Friday 
that the US violated US law by training 6,900 Indonesian, Filipino and Thai 
police without determining beforehand whether they had a history of 
human-rights violations. The police officers were trained by the US Justice 
Department with State Department law enforcement assistance between 2001 and 
last year at a cost of US$265.7 million, the report said.

Among the 4,000 Indonesians trained in civil-military relations and 
human-rights issues were 32 trainees "from a notorious special-forces police 
unit previously prohibited under State [Department] policy from receiving US 
training funds because of the unit's prior human-rights abuses," the report 
said.

But National Police Spokesman Brigadier General Sunarko Danu Artanto said the 
report was aimed at derailing efforts to reform his department. The police have 
received the bulk of US training in recent years because of a long-standing US 
ban on providing assistance to the military.

"We deeply regret such accusations which are blown up by some parties who do 
not want to see our personnel become professional," he said, adding that none 
of the officers trained had human-rights violations.
