A backlash is beginning against the courts and hospital whose actions resulted in the jailing of a housewife who dared complain about the hospital’s service.

Details of the case are in the clip below.
What’s happening in the Net throughout Indonesia, however, is that there has been an outpouring of support for housewife Prita Mulyasari on Tweets and in blogs.
Some of the sentiments expressed on Twitter. It could upstage Manohara.
It would be interesting to see where all this leads and whether it would result in the freeing of Prita and the dismantling of the asinine Law on Electronic Information and Transaction.
Indonesian housewife arrested over online consumer complaint

An Indonesian woman was arrested on 13 May 2009 for allegedly circulating online defamatory statements against a hospital in Banten province, Indonesia.
According to the Southeast Asian Press Aliance, the prosecutor of Tangerang town in Banten said Prita Mulyasari was charged with violation of Article 27.3 of the Law on Electronic Information and Transaction. The charge carries a 6-year prison term.
It was learned that Prita ,who had been a patient of the Omni International Hospital, had asked her doctor for her medical record. When the doctor refused, Prita sent copies of her complaint via email.
As a result, the hospital filed a case against Prita. She is the second person to be charged under the Electronic Information and Transaction Law, after Iwan Piliang, an Indonesian blogger.
I’m confused. Is it the story of her, of a friend of hers? And I cannot see the uploaded respond from the hospital, published in newspaper since the letters were so small.
