Indonesia has drawn up plans for tougher anti-terrorism laws following last month’s militant attack on the capital, Government sources said today. The maximum period allowed for detention without trial will be raised to 90 days and for preventive detention to 120 days, from a current limit of one week.
The law will also allow authorities to target anyone who recruits members for, or cooperates with a militant group, and to use electronic communications, intelligence reports and financial transactions as evidence in court against suspects.
Indonesians who have joined militant training or participated in terrorist acts in a foreign country will be stripped of their citizenship.
