REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, KLATEN -- A team of forensic doctors from Muhammadiyah, one of Indonesia's major Islamic organizations, conducted an autopsy on the body of Siyono, the suspected terrorist who died after being seized by anti-terrorist squad Densus 88 recently, here on Sunday.

Nine doctors led by Prof. DR. Dr. Sudibyo started the autopsy at 8 a.m. at the cemetery in Brengkungan hamlet in the village of Pogung, Cawas sub-district, Klaten, Central Java with a witness from the police, which was carried out under tight security.

It was also attended by Siane Indriani, who is a team coordinator of the Sub-Commission of Monitoring and Investigation of the National Commission on Human Rights (Komnas Ham), board members of the Surakarta chapter of the Islamic Study and Action Center (ISAC) and a team of lawyers for Siyono family.

"The autopsy has gone well from 8am to 11.45am. Afterwards Siyono's body was buried at the same place again," ISAC's secretary Endro Sudarsono said.

He said Siyono's body was buried again at the same place where he had been buried before and there had no problem with local villagers and Pogung village figures.

Siyono (34), a member of Dukuh hamlet, Pogung, died in Jakarta on Friday (11/3) after being seized by anti-terrorist squad Densus 88. In connection with it his family has asked for justice.

Komnas Ham coordinated by Siane Indriani then conducted an investigation over the case and later asked Muhammadiyah to among others conduct an autopsy on Siyono.

Local villagers initially objected to the initiative citing trauma and fear over the incident in their village.

In view of that the general chairman of Muhammadiyah Youth wing, Dahnil Anzar Simanjuntak, had met with the family of Siyono to give advocacy and had a dialog with the head of Pogung village, Djoko Widoyono, and local figures on Wednesday (30/3).
