Indonesia has brought four active‑duty soldiers to trial for the April acid attack that scarred activist Andrie Yunus, with prosecutors seeking up to 12 years in prison. Al Jazeera reports the defendants face charges of attempted murder and violation of human rights. While one report details the court proceedings, another analysis links the assault to a broader pattern of military repression against dissent. Both sources confirm the trial and the severe injuries inflicted.
