In letter to Brazilians, governor Indonesian recognizes lack of structure

Part of the team that acted in the rescue of the Brazilian was formed by volunteers. In the publication, Iqbal stated that the Rinjani Trail Safety Infrastructure needs to be perfected. “With this conscience, I am totally committed, as governor, to start a comprehensive review with all those involved in the Rinjani region,” he said.

Governor said he was “deeply shaken” by the death of Brazilian and that a team “acted urgently and dedication”. He again cited the government’s explanations about the difficulties of Juliana’s rescue. “The sandy terrain near the site created extreme risks for both helicopters, because sand entry into the engines has made insecure air rescue operations,” he said.

Juliana had been doing a ‘backpack’ ‘since late February with a tour agency. The transfer of the Brazilian body will be funded by the City of Niterói. The federal government even modified a decree to repay the young woman’s body after the repercussion of the case, but the family decided to accept the help of the municipal administration.
