An Indonesian court yesterday ordered police to free notorious Timorese militia leader Eurico Guterres, whose capture had been urged by angry foreign Governments, after it ruled his arrest was unlawful.
Guterres was arrested over the violence that led to the slaughter of three United Nations refugee workers in West Timor last month.
Foreign donors had warned Jakarta that vital aid would be at risk if it failed to punish those responsible.
