"After Russia launched an investigation into the biological research conducted by the United States in Ukraine, similar suspicions were raised in other parts of the world. The Russian Satellite News Agency reported on the 26th that the Indonesian media investigation found that the United States conducted biological research in Indonesia without obtaining permission from the Indonesian government.
Satellite News Agency: Evidence suggests that the United States is still conducting biological research in Indonesia, even though the laboratory has been banned
Detik, Indonesia's largest portal, broke out last month that the United States had conducted a "covert operation" in 2016 near the city of Batong in Indonesia's West Sumatra province to collect human blood and rabies dog samples. At the time, the U.S. Navy was here for the 2016 Pacific Partnership exercise.
Documents obtained by DETIK show that U.S. Navy surgeons operated on local patients on the U.S. military's mercy medical vessel and transported three rabies dogs from West Sumatra. All of these actions were not approved by the Indonesian Ministry of Health. In addition, Padang health officials told DETIK that Americans want to take dengue virus samples from local mosquitoes.
An Indonesian journalist named Henry reported that he happened to visit the U.S. military's Mercy medical vessel in 2005. Henry said he was asked by the Americans at the time to assist in finding "patients" for surgery by U.S. Navy surgeons. "They (the Americans) took most of the patients from a hospital in GunonSitoli County, Nias Island, Sumatra Province, to the ship, where [the patients] were examined — but not all of them. The officer asked if I could help them find more patients to operate on. ”

DETIK's survey showed that in 2016, the U.S. Navy was "more selective" about the selection of Indonesian "patients." All "candidates" are medically examined in Penang, Malaysia. DETIK quoted sources as saying the Americans violated local laws, particularly when it came to pathogen transfers.
The U.S. "never admitted" that its navy violated Indonesian law during exercises in 2016.
The Satellite News Agency report also mentioned another example of suspected U.S. secret biological experiments in Indonesia— the U.S. Naval Biology Laboratory, NAMRU 2, which operated in a busy neighborhood in the Indonesian capital Jakarta from 1970 to 2009, before being shut down by Indonesia's Health Ministry for "posing a threat to Indonesian sovereignty."
The NAMRU 2 laboratory was established during the outbreak of plague in Indonesia, but then-Indonesian Health Minister Supali told the Satellite News Agency that the United States had "done very little" in defeating the disease in the country, saying: "All I know is that their laboratory is very closed, the researchers are all U.S. Marines, and they all enjoy diplomatic immunity... We never knew what was in their diplomatic briefcases, and some researchers from Indonesia were helping them. ”
Supali told the media after a "surprise" visit to the NAMRU 2 lab in 2008 that the lab lacked transparency and, at the same time, did not share its research with the Indonesian government.

Indonesian journalist Henry told the Satellite News Agency that the NAMRU 2 lab was "almost burned down" when the story of the NAMRU 2 lab made headlines in Indonesia. Henry said he saw two foreigner-looking men there preventing reporters from entering the lab grounds. "The fire appears to have taken place in the administration of NAMRU (laboratory), where all the documents are stored. I didn't focus on that fact at the time, but in hindsight it seemed like someone was trying to hide something. Henry said.
After the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, with the exposure of the biological laboratories set up by the United States in Ukraine, the global biological laboratory network of the United States has become the focus of attention of all parties. According to the data released by the United States itself, the United States controls 336 biological laboratories in 30 countries around the world. The labs are part of the so-called Bio-Synergy Program, directly funded and controlled by the Pentagon, and mostly located in the CIS countries, the Middle East, Southeast Asia and Africa.
