A 25-year-old Japanese photographer identified as Tadatomo Takagi is in police custody in the Indonesian province of Aceh after being detained by the military Thursday night, a senior military officer said Friday. Takagi arrived in the town Wednesday but did not have a permit from the Foreign Ministry to travel to Aceh. A permit is required for foreign journalists under the terms of martial law, which was imposed in the province May 19.
The brigadier general asked Takagi to obtain the permit before starting work in Aceh. Despite the warning, Takagi was stopped Thursday evening by military police in the neighboring district of Bireuen and found to have camera film in his bag. Takagi said he is in Aceh to take pictures for a photo exhibition in Tokyo, according to Bambang. He said Takagi was handed over to the North Aceh Police Headquarters Friday morning.
