An Indonesian court ruled that parliament had followed proper process in passing contentious revisions to the country’s military law, rejecting legal challenges to legislation that had sparked protests and condemnation.
The Constitutional Court judges ruled 5-4 in favour of rejecting a petition that said the amendments were bulldozed through parliament in March without proper public consultation, amid wider concerns of an expansion of the military’s involvement in civilian affairs under President Prabowo Subianto.
