'Crueller than a cannibal' - Indonesia

Jakarta - An Indonesian newspaper editor who declared that President Megawati Sukarnoputri was crueller than a cannibal was given a six-month suspended prison term on Monday.

Judges at South Jakarta district court ruled that Supratman was guilty of "publicly insulting" Megawati in several front page headlines in the popular Rakyat Merdeka (Free People) daily.

He will be jailed for six months if he commits the same offence within a year.

Prosecutors cited headlines from at least four editions for which Supratman was responsible in January: "Mega's Mouth Reeks of Diesel Oil" for a story on a decision to scrap fuel subsidies; "Mega is a Loan Shark" for a report on high bank interest rates; and "Mega is crueller than Sumanto."
