The Hague regional administration has promised Suciwati to name a street in the city after her late husband, Munir, a human rights activist who died from arsenic poisoning in 2004.
During a meeting with Suciwati last last weekend, The Hague administration promised her it would name a city street “Munirstraat” as a token of respect for Munir, Radio Netherlands reported Wednesday.
If realized, Munir would be the fourth Indonesian to have a street in the Netherlands named after him. The first three are Irawan Sujono, Mohammad Hatta and Raden Ajeng Kartini.
Suciwati said The Hague’s appreciation for her late husband was a pleasant surprise for her birthday, which she celebrated recently with her friends in Amsterdam.
Munir was poisoned with arsenic on board a Garuda flight to the Netherlands.
