Australian court witness deported from Indonesia

[balinews]

An Australian expert who testified that Indonesian woman Wayan Mirna Salihin was unlikely to have died from cyanide poisoning after drinking a Vietnamese iced coffee will be deported and banned from entering Indonesia for six months.

Professor Beng Beng Ong, a forensic pathologist and senior lecturer at Queensland University's School of Medicine, had cast doubt over the central plank of the prosecution's premeditated murder case on Monday, when he questioned whether Ms Salihin had been fatally poisoned.

You just know you're living in the right place when insanity is an everyday affair.

You could not make this **** up!

From what I've heard they banned the guy for "working" here without a proper visa. His "work" being giving testimony before the court.

It's just like when kids have no reason at all for what they do they just say "cause!" and that's answer enough.

Could be a good defence if ever you get a summons in Indonesia.

Try explaining to the men in tight brown shirts that writing an article for publication in a medical journal is not working?

Here is the treaty of extradition between Australian and Indonesia...just a casual read would indicate that IMO OZ would never extradite to RI...and this latest incident only adds to that point.
