Sacked Indonesian graft-busters to fight dismissal in court


JAKARTA (Reuters) - Dozens of employees controversially removed from Indonesia's anti-graft agency will appeal their dismissal, staff members said on Thursday, fighting what they saw as a move to weaken a body that prosecuted hundreds of politicians and businessmen.

Fifty-seven KPK staff were fired after being told they had failed a civil service exam, the results of which they said have been withheld. The Ombudsman and human rights commission suspected maladministration and the KPK has defended the exam.
