Public Rally to Pay Off Prita's Court Fine

Just two days after she lost an appeal in the Banten High Court over a civil 
defamation suit brought against her by Omni hospital, Prita Mulyasari has been 
promised three-quarters of the Rp 204 million ($21,600) in damages she has been 
ordered to pay.

Former Industry Minister Fahmi Idris has offered to pay half of the damages, 
saying on Friday Prita could pick up the money from his office at any time as 
he saw her case as an "injustice." 

Prita lost her appeal over a civil defamation suit brought against her by Omni 
International Hospital, which is now notorious for pursuing the mother of two 
through the courts over an e-mail she wrote to friends complaining about her 
care there. 

Fahmi added that he and some friends were planning to raise money over the next 
three weeks to help pay off the balance.

Several Regional Representatives Council members also pledged funds at a 
meeting on Thursday and raised Rp 50 million, due to be delivered early next 
week to Prita's home in Tangerang, Banten, according to her lawyer, Slamet 
Yuwono. He added that the money would most likely be received next Tuesday.

"Prita is overwhelmed by the kindness of so many. She is so grateful. Pak Fahmi 
has offered and councilors have offered. Even private TV stations are raising 
funds for her," Slamet told the Jakarta Globe on Friday. "All this money will 
be put in a separate account and will only be touched should we lose the 
Supreme Court appeal. We intend to go all the way. When we win the appeal, all 
the money will be returned to the rightful owners." 

Antyo Rentjoko, one of several bloggers nationwide supporting Prita, said a 
group of bloggers were accepting "coin donations to bring shame" to the 
hospital. 

"We plan to collect sacks and sacks of coins," Antyo said. "We don't care if we 
fall short. This is not an attempt to break a record." 

Donated coins will be collected at two regular blogger meeting points: at Jalan 
Taman Margasatwa 60 in Jatipadang, South Jakarta, and Wetiga Restaurant in 
Mayestik, South Jakarta. 

A lawyer for the hospital, Risma Situmorang, told Detik.com on Friday that if 
Prita apologized it was ready to drop all charges. "We don't want compensation, 
no matter how much it is. What we want is our doctors' good names to be 
restored."

A Health Ministry statement on Friday said it was forming a team to mediate 
between the two parties to help settle the case.
