THE ARREST OF A U.S. CITIZEN
IN INDONESIA

 

American citizens who are arrested or detained by Indonesian authorities should contact the consular section for assistance in locating an attorney  and communicating with relatives or friends.  Although the Embassy cannot "get an American citizen out of jail," the consular section does make an effort to ensure that the American is safe and that his/her rights in Indonesia are protected.
