Anger rises in Indonesia over Sweden's inaction against exiled Aceh rebel.
(From Agence France Presse)
Anger was rising in Indonesia against Sweden over the Scandanavian country's refusal to act on Jakarta's demand that it stop one of its citizens from leading an Aceh separatist group.
The Indonesian government last month called on Stockholm to act against Hasan Tiro, who helped found the Free Aceh Movement (GAM) in 1976 and has since become a Swedish citizen.
"In diplomatic terms, Sweden has taken a hostile position against us," said Amien Rais, chairman of the People's Consultative Assembly.
He told ElShinta radio Sunday that the Swedish government should hand Tiro over to Indonesia.
"We will also not act foolishly. There are legal procedures and codes of ethics," he said.
However, he also said he supported severing ties with Sweden over Stockholm's rejection to act against Tiro.
