Indonesia's former dictator Suharto recovering
Indonesia's former dictator Suharto has come through the critical phase of the pneumonia that has hospitalised him for nearly a week and is recovering.
Doctors said Mr Suharto had overcome the critical stage and is now in the rehabilitation phase.
.
80-year-old Mr Suharto was rushed to a private Jakarta's hospital late on Monday suffering pneumonia.
Doctors had expressed concern that the illness could bring on multiple organ failure.
Suharto's ill health has helped him escape trial on charges that he embezzled 571 million dollars in state funds.
His lawyers have renewed pressure for corruption charges to also be dropped.
