The Indonesian Constitution Court on Monday handed down an 8 to 1 decision rejecting a petition to ban any candidate over the age of 70 or accused of human rights abuses from the presidency, clearing the way for current Defense Minister and former General Prabowo Subianto, age 72, and accused of human rights abuses to run in next February’s election, the Associated Press reports.
It was probably the human right abuses thing more than age thing that the anti-Subianto libs were concerned with, seeing as how he was a big deal former dictator Suharto’s regime until 1998.
