        "summary": "The Director of LBH Jakarta, Fadhil Alfathan, has urged investigators to apply the charge of attempted premeditated murder with complicity in the acid attack on KontraS Vice Coordinator Andrie Yunus, arguing that the coordinated assault by four perpetrators targeting vital body parts indicates a planned intent to kill. This legal push aims to extend the investigation beyond field actors to intellectual masterminds or financiers, highlighting the need for robust enforcement to protect democratic activism. Metro Jaya Police have identified two suspects and are exploring involvement of more than four individuals based on witness statements.",
        "content": "<p>The Director of the Jakarta Legal Aid Institute (LBH) Fadhil Alfathan\nhas requested that investigators apply the charge of attempted\npremeditated murder with complicity in the case of the acid attack on\nKontraS Vice Coordinator Andrie Yunus. According to him, the attack on\nAndrie is not merely assault but fulfils the elements of attempted\npremeditated murder with complicity. \u201cTherefore, as the advocacy team\nfor democracy, we have taken official steps by writing to the\ninvestigators to immediately apply Article 459 in conjunction with\nArticle 17 in conjunction with Article 20 of the National Criminal\nCode,\u201d Fadhil stated during a press conference in Jakarta on Wednesday.\nHe explained simply that the attack using acid by four perpetrators, who\nhad a division of tasks from surveillance, stalking, execution, escape,\nand so on, shows prior planning. Furthermore, the use of acid targeted\nat Andrie\u2019s vital parts, such as the head and face, including the eyes\nand respiratory tract, could result in the most fatal consequences, up\nto death. Thus, this construction has been conveyed by his side to the\ninvestigators, including an analysis of the reasons for applying the\ncharge of attempted premeditated murder with complicity. Fadhil added\nthat the urgency of applying the complicity provision is needed so that\nthe legal construction and direction of the investigation are not only\nfocused on the field perpetrators but also on the intellectual actors or\neven those who fund it. \u201cThat is what we are pushing to the\ninvestigators and relevant law enforcement officials. We continue to\ncoordinate and are very cooperative with the investigators,\u201d he said.\nPreviously, Metro Jaya Police had revealed two suspected perpetrators in\nthe acid attack case against Andrie. \u201cWe can inform that the two people\nwe showed earlier from one Police data are one with initials BHC, and\none with initials MAK,\u201d said the Director of Reskrimum of Metro Jaya\nPolice, Commissioner Iman Imanuddin, during a press conference in\nJakarta on Wednesday. However, Iman explained that based on the\ninvestigation results, it does not rule out the possibility that the\nperpetrators number more than four people, as per the initial\ninformation provided and based on statements from several witnesses who\nhave been questioned, namely 15 witnesses.<\/p>",
