Government Has Intensive Communication with Aisyah, Says Marsudi

Jakarta,, IMINA – – Foreign Affairs Minister Retno Marsudi said that the Indonesian government had an intensive communication with Siti Aisyah, a defendant in the assassination of Kim Jong-nam, the half-brother of North Korea’s leader Kim Jong-un.

“Our communication with Aisyah, through our staffs and lawyers in Kuala Lumpur, continues to intensify. We have good lawyers, and we continuously monitor the results,” Antara News quoted Marsudi as telling the press at the Vice President Palace in Jakarta on Monday.

Refusing to further comment on the case, Marsudi convinced the Indonesia people that her ministry would continue to strive for the best interests of Indonesian citizens abroad, including Aisyah.

She also met with lawyers from Kuala Lumpur and Jakarta to discuss the progress of the murder case against Aisyah in Malaysia.

“From the report received by the team of lawyers, our lawyers feel quite confident (to win the case), because the evidences are very weak,” she added.(T/RS5/RS1)
