Indonesia bars Australian reporter
A leading Australian media group says its correspondent has been barred from working in Indonesia because of his reporting on human rights issues.
The "Sydney Morning Herald" and its affiliated newspaper "The Age" said they were "gravely troubled and deeply regret" the decision to refuse Lindsay Murdoch an extension of his working visa.
The newspaper said it was clear the decision had been taken in reaction to the authoritative reporting of Mr Murdoch on human rights and related issues in Indonesia.
It said it was thought to be the first time since the end of the Suharto era in 1998 that the presence of a specific foreign correspondent had been challenged in such a manner.
