The woman he had been convicted of assaulting had not been informed &#8211; despite her legal right to know.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">On hearing he was back in prison, she cried with relief.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;I pray that this doesn&#8217;t happen to anyone else and that, going forward, the law will be applied justly in Indonesia,&#8221; the former student, who wished to remain anonymous, told the BBC.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The Ministry of Immigration and Corrections previously told the BBC that Bechi was released because of sentence reductions granted in accordance with regulations. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">But the BBC investigation sparked a public outcry and led to calls from lawmakers for an investigation, after which the government announced a comprehensive review.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">That review found &#8220;errors&#8221; resulting in Bechi&#8217;s parole being revoked. He has now been returned to prison.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Immigration and Corrections Minister Agus Andrianto told the BBC that those responsible for approving Bechi&#8217;s parole &#8220;will certainly face sanctions&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;We want to make sure that such mistakes or irregularities do not happen again,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/articles\/ckgel9r341gdo?at_medium=RSS&#038;at_campaign=rss\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A former teacher who sexually assaulted a student has been returned to jail in Indonesia after a BBC investigation revealed he was secretly released early.
