Indonesia’s unholy muddle

"In February 2011, three members of a peaceful Islamic movement, the Ahmadiyah, considered heretical by orthodox Muslims, were beaten and hacked to death in broad daylight by a frenzied mob in west Java.

"Their end was caught on film.

"Despite the extraordinary violence, in August the perpetrators were handed down only token prison sentences, ranging from three to five months.

"There was an outcry, but the sentences stood.

"The guilty are now all free, including one 17-year-old treated as a hero on his return home."
