The Jakarta State Administrative High Court will begin proceedings on the lawsuit of former Law and Human Rights Minister Yusril Ihza Mahendra against the Attorney General’s Office, which had extended a travel ban on him.
Yusril said he would read out his lawsuit against the AGO and that he had prepared legal arguments on the travel ban, which according to him, was based on laws that have been revoked.
“I simply request that the court annul a travel ban against me issued on June 24, 2011,” he said, as reported by tribunnews.com.
Yusril added that the court had held two preliminary hearings and that today’s session would be open to the public.
Earlier, the AGO had extended a travel ban on Yusril because it had not completed an investigation into a corruption case surrounding the procurement of an online registration system (Sisminbakum) for the ministry during Yusril’s tenure.
