| Australia has sent an official to the Indonesian province of Maluku to investigate claims that Indonesia's elite counter-terrorism unit, Detachment 88, which receives millions of dollars from Australia each year, brutalised a group of separatists last month, repeatedly beating them in detention.
The alleged serious mistreatment of political activists comes as it emerged that, in May 2008, the United States secretly banned some members of Detachment 88 in Maluku from receiving its assistance.
The Herald has learnt that the Australian government is ''aware and concerned'' about the activities of the Detachment 88 officers, dispatching an official two weeks ago to Ambon, Maluku's capital, to investigate the claims.
