In the presence of three police officers, Aan Susandi was allegedly severely beaten and subjected to arbitrary detention in December 2009. On 17 May 2010, the South Jakarta District Court ruled that evidence and testimony in the drug possession case against Aan contained “elements of fabrication” by the police, and dropped all charges against him. In this document Amnesty International urges the Indonesian authorities to ensure a thorough, independent and impartial investigation into reports of arbitrary detention and torture or other ill-treatment of Aan Susandi.
