This is strange! flip-flops

"Two witnesses said that Eiger was the brand of the stolen flip-flops but the sandals brought before the court were made by Ando. This is strange," Syahril said.

Maruli Rajagukguk of the Jakarta Legal Aid Institute pointed out a potential area of manipulation in the case, saying the evidence presented during the trial was different from that described in the dossier.

"If there was manipulation, the court should rescind the verdict."

Maruli said the case was categorized as a material-loss offense. Thus, it was important to check the authenticity of evidence. The police investigators who handled the case should be sanctioned, he added.

In Bekasi, West Java, Iman Surahman, an activist with SOS Children's Village, which has campaigned to raise awareness of the flip-flop case, claimed that his wife was intimidated by dozens of police officers on motorcycles who visited their home in Angkasapuri, Bekasi, on Tuesday.
