The handling of the acid attack case against Kontras activist Andrie\nYunus is once again drawing scrutiny. Amid a series of developments\ndeemed suspicious, the President is being urged to promptly form a Joint\nFact-Finding Team (TGPF) to safeguard the credibility of law enforcement\nand restore public confidence.<\/p>\n
National Council Chairman of the SETARA Institute, Hendardi, assesses\nthat the latest situation in this case reveals serious issues in the law\nenforcement process. He highlights two crucial matters: the resignation\nof TNI BAIS Head Lieutenant General Yudi Abrimantyo, described as an act\nof institutional responsibility, and indications of a weakening\ninvestigation handled by the National Police (Polri).<\/p>\n
According to Hendardi, these developments have the potential to\nheighten public confusion. This is especially true given the\ndiscrepancies between the version initially disclosed by the police and\nthe narratives emerging from other institutions.<\/p>\n
Therefore, he asserts that forming a TGPF is no longer merely an\noption but an urgent necessity to ensure transparency, accountability,\nand clarity in the case.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis step is the most objective choice for the President to bring\nthe matter to light, so that the public\u2019s right to know can be addressed\nproportionately and professionally, providing a deterrent effect for the\nperpetrators and achieving justice for the victim,\u201d Hendardi stated in a\nwritten release on Sunday (29\/3).<\/p>\n
He emphasises that the TGPF must include independent elements, from\nacademics and legal experts to civil society representatives. The team\nshould also be granted broad investigative access to fully uncover the\nentire chain of events, including any suspected involvement of state\napparatus.<\/p>\n
For Hendardi, the formation of the TGPF also serves as a real test of\nthe President\u2019s political commitment to upholding the law. Without\nconcrete action, the President\u2019s previous directive to investigate the\ncase openly and objectively risks becoming mere rhetoric.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf the President allows law enforcement practices that contradict\nhis previous orders, do not blame the public if they view Prabowo\u2019s\ndirectives as just empty words,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He adds that the TGPF\u2019s findings must be brought to the general\ncourts, not military courts or those with connections. According to him,\nthe principle of equality before the law must be upheld without regard\nto the perpetrators\u2019 backgrounds.<\/p>\n
The House of Representatives (DPR) is urging the National Human\nRights Commission (Komnas HAM) to promptly issue a firm conclusion\nregarding the acid attack case that befell Andrie Yunus.<\/p>\n
Komnas HAM is calling for transparent examination of the former TNI\nBAIS Head in connection with the acid attack on Kontras activist Andrie\nYunus. Law enforcement is deemed crucial.<\/p>\n
Komnas HAM urges the TNI Commander to examine former BAIS Head\nLieutenant General Yudi Abrimantyo regarding the acid attack case on\nKontras activist Andrie Yunus. Read the full statement here.<\/p>\n
To ensure objectivity, Usman urges the President to involve civil\nsociety and figures of integrity in the Fact-Finding Team.<\/p>\n
Challenges in law enforcement often lie not in technical capabilities\nbut in the institutions\u2019 willingness to transparently reveal facts when\ncases touch internal domains.<\/p>\n
Kontras is urging the formation of a TGPF to thoroughly investigate\nthe systematic attack on Andrie Yunus and expose the intellectual actors\nbehind this terror.<\/p>\n
The formation or otherwise of the TGPF is a decision for the\nPresident.<\/p>\n
President Prabowo Subianto is requested to promptly form a Joint\nFact-Finding Team (TGPF) to uncover and provide facts related to\nallegations of treason and terrorism in demonstration actions.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/calls-for-tgpf-formation-intensify-amid-increasingly-suspicious-andrie-yunus-case-1774781491", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
