Indonesia's National Counterterrorism Agency plans to recommend reducing prison sentences for jailed former Jemaah Islamiyah members who support the group's dissolution to encourage more of them to surrender.

Eddy Hartono, the agency's chief, said it plans to suggest to the relevant ministries that prison sentences for more than 180 former members be cut, the Straits Times reported. Hartono announced the proposal on Saturday in the city of Surakarta, central Java, without providing a timeline.
