Timeline

1965

Munir Said Thalib (8 December 1965 – 7 September 2004) was an Indonesian activist.

1989

He studied law at Brawijaya University in Malang in the province of East Java, and later started off his career in 1989 as a legal aid officer in the East Java provincial capital, Surabaya.

He became one of Indonesia's leading human rights campaigners and faced intimidation, including death threats.

He accused the Indonesian military of human rights violations in East Timor and in the troubled provinces of Papua and Aceh, and accused them of running a criminal network involved in illegal logging and drug smuggling.

He once fractured his hand whilst saving an elderly labourer from being beaten by security officials.

He founded the Commission for Missing Persons and Victims of Violence (KontraS).

His last position was executive director of Indonesian Human Rights Monitor (IMPARSIAL), another Indonesian human rights NGO.

2000

Founder of the Kontras human rights organisation and laureate of the 2000 Right Livelihood Award, Munir was assassinated in 2004 while travelling to Utrecht University to pursue a master's degree in international law and human rights.

He is one of Indonesia's most famous human rights and anti-corruption activists.

Munir was born in Batu, East Java into a family of Mixed Hadhrami Arab and Javanese origins, from Kathiri.

2001

In 2001, while he was investigating Kopassus's role in kidnappings, a bomb package was delivered to his house.

2004

Munir was poisoned with arsenic on a flight from Jakarta to Amsterdam on 7 September 2004.

He was travelling on state-owned airline Garuda Indonesia Boeing 747-400.

It was concluded from Munir's autopsy and eyewitnesses during the trial that he had died two hours before arrival in Schiphol International Airport.

He took the arsenic during his flight transit in Singapore, or sometime near that time.

In Singapore, Pollycarpus Priyanto, a Garuda pilot at the time and the prime suspect in Munir's trial, left the flight and then went back to Indonesia.

Originally he departed from Indonesia by deadheading, with a fake document which allowed him to fly on another flight which was not his scheduled flight.

Munir began to suffer acute diarrhea and bouts of vomiting shortly after his flight took off from Singapore to Amsterdam.

The cabin crew informed the pilot in command that a passenger was sick, and a doctor who happened to be on the plane was asked to provide medical assistance.

However, Munir died around two hours before the plane landed at Amsterdam.

When the results of the autopsy were released two months later, on 12 November, the Netherlands Forensic Institute revealed that Munir's body contained a level of arsenic almost three times the lethal dose.

This was later confirmed by Indonesian police.

There were three suspects; Pollycarpus Budihari Priyanto, a former pilot who allegedly gave up his business class seat to Munir during the flight, and two flight attendants.

It is alleged that Pollycarpus placed the arsenic in Munir's orange juice, upon orders from Garuda's chief executive at that time, Indra Setiawan.

Indonesian president Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono proclaimed that he will make sure that Munir's killers are brought to justice and quickly convened an independent investigation.

However support and resources for the investigation waned, senior officials refused to comply, and the findings were never released.

2005

In December 2005, Pollycarpus Budihari Priyanto was found guilty of Munir's murder by an Indonesian court and sentenced to fourteen years imprisonment.

Munir's supporters claim that Pollycarpus was acting on orders and that this was not brought out during the court case.

2006

In October 2006, the Supreme Court of Indonesia invalidated the conviction against Pollycarpus, citing insufficient evidence.

2007

However, in April 2007, police presented new evidence to prosecutors implicating Pollycarpus.

In October 2007, Indra Setiawan and his deputy, Rohainil Aini, faced trial for providing Pollycarpus with fake documents to board Munir's flight from Jakarta to Singapore.

They would have faced a possible death penalty.

They were both convicted and imprisoned for Munir's murder, and have appealed their convictions.

In 2007, a Jakarta court found that Garuda was negligent in refusing to perform an emergency landing, and ordered the company to pay 600 million rupiah in compensation to Munir's widow.

When Garuda appealed this decision, the supreme court increased the compensation to an undisclosed amount.

Garuda then failed to pay the compensation.

2014

In November 2014, Pollycarpus was released from prison.

2020

Pollycarpus died on 16 October 2020 due to COVID-19 during the COVID pandemic after being treated for 16 days.

Top-level Indonesian State Intelligence Agency (BIN) officials were implicated in Munir's murder.

The chief of police at the time, Sutanto, allegedly knew of the BIN involvement.
