Latest Update: Friday10/7/2009July, 2009, 11:53 PM Doha Time Indonesia court upholds acquittal of former spy Indonesia's Supreme Court said yesterday it had upheld the acquittal of a former top official at the country's spy agency accused of murdering a prominent human rights activist five years ago. The activist, Munir Said Thalib, died of poisoning on a Garuda Indonesia flight to Amsterdam in 2004. A Dutch coroner found a deadly dose of arsenic in his body. Last year, a Jakarta district court cleared Muchdi Purwopranjono, a former deputy chairman of the National Intelligence Agency, of charges that he commissioned the murder, but prosecutors appealed the verdict. The Supreme Court said in a statement on its website that the lower court's ruling was valid. A spokesman for the court, Hatta Ali, said "the prosecutor's appeal has been rejected".
