Mulyasari Prita was a simple and unknown bank employee, mother of two children who, in the attack of mumps, went to a private hospital in Jakarta (Indonesia): the Omni International Hospital. She had never previously suffered a similar illness, was simply wrong and not know what the source of their illnesses so that, as wrongly diagnosed with dengue treatment did not hesitate to be paid for his pocket. Obviously the remedy was worse than the disease. After recovering, soon enough to forget the bad shot that had passed and, of course, did what any of us would to a poor service you received: to give birth at the hospital. Mostly because, to make matters worse, the doctor on duty also made it possible to not acknowledge their error diagnostic, coming to lie about the results of the tests. There would be why, in addition to not charging, over the hospital had to compensate the patient for having been nearly killed.
could have gone on television to explain his life, but no. Simply sent an email to a group of friends explaining his incredible experience. And the story really was not wasted, those friends forwarded the mail and the content of this appeared in blogs and web pages. A hospital that someone had to do not grace the track and made contact with the ex-patient who publicly recant. Mulyasari refused and thus started the mess.

A hospital that someone had to do not grace the track and made contact with the ex-patient who publicly recant. Mulyasari refused and thus started the mess.
The hospital decided to denounce the civil and the criminal to his ex-patient for defamation, relying on a controversial law Indonesian Information and E, which can hold a citizen by a private declaration if it has a public outreach and damages the honor and reputation of any individual, especially if you have potential negative impact on economic activity. And last May, a civil court in his favor at the hospital. Mulyasari was convicted and ordered to pay the hospital from which he had railed with 262 million rupees (17,000 €), an exorbitant amount and invaluable for a particular stream. Red It helped to hear the case went to such barbarity shocked and quickly mobilized. From the blogosphere and facebook were conducted extensive outreach and protest that spread like the wildfire throughout Indonesia. When Mulyasari was arrested, more than 100,000 people signed for their immediate release. Social pressure was such that the accused had to be released after three weeks' detention. " And last June, a criminal court in Jakarta was a moral duty to end exonerated.
I must say that Indonesia is a country I certainly amazing and interesting. Is the state with the largest Muslim population in the world, with 207 million practitioners (2009), 36 million more than Pakistan. To be composed of many islands, is a highly decentralized state and can be found provinces where Islam is so ingrained that the laws are based on Sharia , in coexistence with other predominantly Hindu population (Bali ), Catholic (Eastern Note Nusa ) and Protestants ( Maluku, Papua .) Have a constitution that advocates religious freedom and the capital, Jakarta, and in much of the islands of Borneo and Sulawesi is secular law. Education on issues of socio-political values \u200b\u200bsuch as democracy and citizenship is required throughout the territory and says that even Koranic schools abide by the teaching of subjects in this regard. And although the practice of Islam is growing every day, people usually appears reluctant to become radicalized electorally religion in public policy: the more radical parties, which proposed legislation on women's dress and public behavior at the state, have suffered a significant decline in recent years . Somewhat surprisingly for an overwhelmingly Muslim country. But not only that. The large number of Indonesian surfers also clear something else is widespread the idea that technology and progress are not necessarily enemies of their religion. And with examples like this help a lot to break with the standard image that we in the West about Islam.
Bloggers (and facebooks) Indonesian promoted a campaign, "Help Prita " directed to the collection of coins (to avoid social distinctions about the source of aid) to pay compensation as brutal. At the moment, and collect 6 tons of coins. In early December confirmed the sentence civil, but the hospital, tired of the show and the publicity that this case is generating, has proposed to waive compensation if Mulyasari withdrew the appeal and put an end to all popular clamor.
