FILE - In this July 12, 2019, file photo, Baiq Nuril Maknun, center, arrives at the Attorney General's office in Jakarta, Indonesia. The woman sentenced to prison for recording her boss's sexual harassment wept and lawmakers clapped as Indonesia's parliament unanimously approved an amnesty recommended by the country's president.
Baiq Nuril Maknun’s ordeal began in 2014 when she received telephone calls from the headmaster at a school on Lombok where she taught describing his sexual relationship with another woman. The headmaster, identified as Haji Muslim in court documents, also insisted Maknun accompany him and his sexual partner on trips.
During her ordeal, Maknun was afraid to report the headmaster but recorded one of the calls and later played it to colleagues to dispel rumors she was having an affair with him. Amnesty International said there is one more step for Maknun’s case to be fully resolved, which is President Joko Widodo giving his formal assent to the amnesty. He is expected to do that without much delay.
