A representative of the Advocacy Team for Democracy (TAUD), Jane\nRosalina, has revealed the current condition of Andrie Yunus, External\nDeputy Coordinator of the Commission for the Disappeared and Victims of\nViolence (KontraS), who is still undergoing a series of operations after\nbecoming a victim of an acid attack.<\/p>\n
She conveyed this when TAUD, together with a number of related\norganisations, held an open forum regarding the appeal ruling in the\nacid attack case against Andrie Yunus before the Supreme Court on Monday\n(7\/9).<\/p>\n
\u201cAs for his physical condition, he indeed suffered damage to his eyes\nin September, and a fifth of his body suffered burns. At present, his\neyes are still receiving intensive medical treatment, kept covered ahead\nof a cornea operation \u2014 surgery on the damaged salpuncal part of the\ncornea,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Andrie Yunus\u2019s vision is said to remain extremely limited.\nJane said Andrie can only see light.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe can still see light. Only after the major operation \u2014 we do not\nyet know how the process will go,\u201d said Jane.<\/p>\n
In addition to treatment on his eyes, Andrie still requires a number\nof medical procedures to address the condition of his skin and the burns\non his body.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor his body, he has undergone plastic surgery several times, and\nnow there are a great many scars on the right side of his body and he is\nexperiencing contracture of the skin. So, as of now, there is\ncontracture on his right side, which will require plastic surgery, and\nthere will also be an operation on his neck \u2014 skin surgery \u2014 and most\nimportantly on his eyes,\u201d Jane said.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe is even still wearing a pressure garment, because without it his\nskin would sag and be pulled, due to the acidic nature of the corrosive\nliquid,\u201d Jane added.<\/p>\n
Once all the wounds have dried and can be treated, only then will\nAndrie enter the stage of aesthetic care.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd later, once all the wounds have dried and can be treated, he\nwill move on to aesthetics to try to restore the skin surface, or the\nscars,\u201d she revealed.<\/p>\n
Jane assesses that Andrie\u2019s recovery process will still require a\nlong time.<\/p>\n
Andrie Yunus has undergone a number of operations to address the\ndamage to his eyes as well as the burns he suffered.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs I mentioned earlier, there have been three operations on his eyes\nand four plastic surgeries \u2014 seven in total,\u201d said Jane.<\/p>\n
The acid attack against Andrie occurred on 12 March 2026. At the\ntime, Andrie was pursuing a challenge against the Military Justice Law\nand the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI) Law before the\nConstitutional Court.<\/p>\n
Previously, the Jakarta II High Military Court struck down the\ndismissal penalties and reduced the prison sentences of two defendants\nconvicted of the acid attack against Andrie Yunus.<\/p>\n
The ruling was handed down after the panel of judges granted the\nappeal filed by the defendants.<\/p>\n
Based on the appeal ruling in case number 56-K\/PMT-II\/BDG\/AL\/VI\/2026,\nthe first defendant, Sergeant Edi Sudarko, was sentenced to 2 years and\n6 months in prison.<\/p>\n
The second defendant, First Lieutenant Budhi Hariyanto Widhi, was\nsentenced to 2 years in prison.<\/p>\n
The third defendant, Captain Nandala Dwi Prasetyo, was meanwhile\nsentenced to 2 years in prison, and the fourth defendant, First\nLieutenant Sami Lakka, was sentenced to 1 year and 6 months in\nprison.<\/p>\n
This appeal ruling overturns the decision of the Jakarta II-08\nMilitary Court, Case Number 70-K\/PM II-08\/AL\/IV\/2026, dated 10 June\n2026.<\/p>\n
Under the first-instance ruling, the first defendant was sentenced to\n3 years in prison and the second defendant was sentenced to 2 years and\n6 months in prison. In addition to the custodial sentences, the judges\nalso imposed an additional penalty on both in the form of dismissal from\nmilitary service.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the third defendant was sentenced to 2 years in prison,\nand the fourth defendant was sentenced to 1 year and 6 months in\nprison.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/andrie-yunus-still-undergoing-series-of-operations-vision-remains-limited-1788785544", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
