Indonesian military court sentences four officers for acid attack on activist Andrie Yunus.
Four Indonesian military intelligence officers were sentenced to between 1.5 and 3 years in prison for a premeditated acid attack on activist Andrie Yunus in Jakarta on March 12. The attack left Yunus blind in one eye and with burns on over 20 percent of his body. Prosecutors said the soldiers were motivated by anger over Yunus's activism but were not acting under official orders.
