Indonesian court acquits Terbit Rencana Perangin Angin of human trafficking despite 665 people found in cages on his palm oil plantation.
An Indonesian court has acquitted former official Terbit Rencana Perangin Angin of human trafficking charges, despite 665 people found in cages on his palm oil plantation in 2022. The acquittal raises concerns about impunity for state actors in Indonesia. Prosecutors plan to appeal, arguing the detainees were subjected to forced labor and torture, not a drug rehabilitation program as claimed by Angin.
