A former pilot has been jailed for 20 years for murdering Indonesian rights activist Munir Thalib - reversing an earlier ruling quashing his conviction. Pollycarpus Priyanto was jailed for 14 years in 2005, but had his conviction overturned 10 months later. Indonesia's Supreme Court has now reversed that decision - reinstating his initial conviction and increasing his sentence to 20 years. Munir was poisoned with arsenic in 2004 on board a flight to Amsterdam.
The death of the campaigner, who had helped to expose rights abuses by the security services, caused an international outcry.
