“In recent days, a group has filed a request to the court to make an issue out of human rights in Indonesia” Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, President of IndonesiaIndonesia's President, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, has called off a state visit to the Netherlands because of a threat that he could be arrested.
A separatist group, the Republic of South Moluccas (RMS), has asked a court to order his detention in connection with alleged human rights violations.
Mr Yudhoyono said that if he had gone ahead with the three-day visit, it might have led to a "misunderstanding".
Indonesian authorities crushed the RMS after it declared independence in 1950.
It was revived following the fall of President Suharto in 1998, and is currently based in the Netherlands, Indonesia's former colonial power.
From 1999 until 2002, ethnic violence in the Moluccas islands left an estimated 5,000 people dead and displaced 500,000 others.
A spokeswoman for a court in The Hague confirmed that the RMS had asked for an injunction to have Mr Yudhoyono arrested on arrival.
The group wanted him to face prosecution for the alleged human rights violations and the physical abuse of political prisoners, she added.
Mr Yudhoyono was reportedly already onboard his plane at Jakarta's airport on Tuesday when he decided to cancel the state visit.
"In recent days, a group has filed a request to the court to make an issue out of human rights in Indonesia and request the court to arrest me during the state visit to the Netherlands," he told reporters afterwards.
"What I cannot accept is if the president of Indonesia makes a visit to the Netherlands, after an invitation from the Netherlands, the court decides to arrest the president of Indonesia."
The BBC contacted the Dutch embassy in Jakarta about the president's plans but they had no comment.

HUN SEN FATE IS AROUND THE CORNER..
First of all, the Khmer people, sam riansy, all the victims did not worry about Hun Xen because it is Hun Xen himself who committed the crimes for killing, torturing, and selling khmer land to foreigners, and many many things he did.
Hun xen will have to pay for what he did - right?
jay yo jayvarman VII...you are the greatest King Khmer ever...
HUNCENT MUST PAY!
HUNCENT MUST GO TO JAIL!
HUNCENT KILLS INNOCENT KHMER!

thanks have a great day,
If after Hun Sen get arrest by International Jurisdiction, we should move to clean a CPP representative in WA. His name is Mr. Dara Doung, the owner of Killing Field Musuem in Seattle. Also the guy name Darren?, the president of Khmer Tacoma is a youn spy for CPP. This guy face is a youn face.
Can any Khmer in Seattle beat those idiots guys up! Just give them some good lesson what da fuck they doing in the freedom land they're not deserved to live or stay here. Kick his ass back to Cambodian or to VietCong.
After the International Court summoned Hun Sen and if he refuse to come like he has been saying , Hun Sen will start worrying because he won't be able to go to any Country outside Cambodia .
If this is true and Hun Sen knows about it , I think he will lose alot of sleep and some CPP member might turn themselves against Hun Sen .
I like to see Khmer in Sydney and New Phally in Cambodia Town comment on this case.
10:03 AM DON'T MESS WITH ME!
Biography...

2YK: Hun Sense (Sense = Power)
