JAKARTA - Two Indonesian police officers were jailed on Thursday for partially blinding a top corruption investigator in an acid attack that sparked widespread anger in the graft-riddled South-east Asian nation.
Baswedan, 43, was set upon in the capital as he walked home from a mosque following early morning prayers. But the court ruled that the officers tried to scare Baswedan rather than cause serious injury, saying they had sought to"teach him a lesson". Before Thursday's ruling, rights groups and Baswedan himself - who was permanently blinded in one eye - derided the hearing as a show trial and said key evidence was not presented, including some eyewitness testimony.
