Indonesia court upholds passage of military law revisions

JAKARTA (Reuters) -Indonesia’s Constitutional Court on Wednesday upheld the passage of revisions of the country’s military law by parliament earlier this year, rejecting legal challenges to the process.   

The court announced its decision on five petitions challenging the passage of the revisions, which, among other things, had increased the number of civilian government departments that military personnel can be posted to. The plaintiffs had argued the process had been flawed.
