Air rage official wants out of jail
The lawyer for the Belitung official accused of assaulting a flight attendant has asked for her client to be freed. She reasoned that her client, Belitung Regional Investment Coordinating Board (BKPMD) chief Zakaria Umar Hadi, had admitted his guilt and cooperated during police questioning so there was no reason to put him in jail.
The assault has been a trending topic on Twitter and Facebook with most people appalled by the assault.
Zakaria was jailed for the assault of Sriwijaya Air’s senior flight attendant Nur Febriani during flight from Jakarta to Pangkal Pinang on Wednesday night.
Zakaria slapped her in the face with a rolled-up newspaper and refused to switch off his phone during the flight. (hrl/dic)
