Special rules should apply to firebrand cleric Abu Bakar Ba'asyir, who has been sentenced to life in prison, terrorism expert Noor Huda Ismail said Wednesday.
"The government should impose a system that forbids him [Ba'asyir] any opportunity to encourage radicalism," he said.
According to Noor, Ba'asyir should get heightened treatment concerning visitors. "Not all individuals should be permitted to visit him. Only his closest [friends]," he said.
He said that a prison could be an ideal place for a terrorist prisoner to recruit new members. In the case of Ba'asyir, he said that the chance of him fomenting radicalism was still very strong.
Therefore, he urged the government to imprison its terrorist prisoners in different buildings. "They would have no chance at all to meet each other," he added. (fem)
