Maluku separatist leader to be charged with subversion
A separatist leader in Indonesia's Maluku islands -- who has been detained since last week -- will be charged with subversion.
Maluku's chief police detective said the charge against Alex Manuputty, who was arrested at his home last week, was based on preliminary evidence gathered by the police and the military,
The crime carries a maximum life sentence.
Mr Manuputty, who heads the Maluku Sovereignty Front, had been planning to raise the separatist flag of the Republic of South Maluku on April 25, the 52nd anniversary of the declaration of the now outlawed republic.
Police said his arrest last year and last week had been based on violation of regulations imposed by the civil emergency authorities.
