On Oct. 9, a former vice president at Indonesia's Garuda airline went on trial in Jakarta accused of conspiracy in the mid-air poisoning death of a top human rights activist three years ago.

Rohainil Aini is the second person to face charges over the death of Munir Said Thalib, who ingested a fatal dose of arsenic while flying from Jakarta to Amsterdam on the national carrier.

Human rights activists allege Thalib was killed because of his work exposing abuse by Indonesian security forces.

Prosecutors began reading out the charges against Aini, who was formally charged with conspiracy in the killing several months ago.

An off-duty pilot, Pollycarpus Priyanto, was found guilty of murdering the activist, but the Supreme Court overturned the conviction in 2006. Prosecutors are appealing that decision.

Police or prosecutors have yet to reveal a motive for the crime.
