        "summary": "Coordinating Minister for Law, Human Rights, Immigration, and Correctional Services, Yusril Ihza Mahendra, has responded to calls for establishing a fact-finding team regarding the acid attack on Andrie Yunus, stating that the government is open to discussion but has not yet addressed it internally with President Prabowo Subianto. He emphasised that existing law enforcement mechanisms, such as those used by Puspom TNI and Bareskrim Polri, can act swiftly without the delays inherent in forming a new team, which would require legal basis and clear authority. Yusril stressed the importance of transparency in the ongoing legal process, including the arrest of suspects, to ensure public oversight and prevent any perception of cover-ups.",
        "content": "<p>Coordinating Minister for Law, Human Rights, Immigration, and\nCorrectional Services (Menko Kumham Imipas) Yusril Ihza Mahendra has\nresponded to demands for the formation of a Fact-Finding Team regarding\nthe acid attack case against Andrie Yunus. Yusril stated that the\ngovernment is not closing off the possibility of discussing the\nproposal. However, he admitted that he has not yet had the chance to\ndiscuss it directly with President Prabowo Subianto. \u201cThis issue has\nnever been discussed internally within the government,\u201d said Yusril, as\nquoted from his personal YouTube channel on Thursday (9\/4). He explained\nthat the President had previously emphasised that the handling of the\ncase should be carried out through firm, swift, and measured legal steps\nby law enforcement authorities. \u201cAs we know, Puspom and Bareskrim Polri\ncan act more quickly to gather facts in the field, conduct\ninvestigations, inquiries, up to the investigation stage,\u201d he said.\nAccording to Yusril, the formation of a Fact-Finding Team could\npotentially take a long time because it requires a legal basis and\nclarity of authority. \u201cForming this fact-finding team requires a\ntime-consuming process. Who will sit on it? What is the legal basis for\nits formation? Is it by Presidential Decree or what? What are its duties\nand powers?\u201d he stated. He also assessed that such a team has advantages\nand disadvantages, including the possibility of involving parties who do\nnot have adequate legal understanding. \u201cI think this will be a long\nstory, and in the end, the facts found will still be handed over to the\nProsecutor\u2019s Office,\u201d he revealed. Yusril emphasised that a protracted\nprocess could hinder law enforcement, especially if the perpetrator has\nnot been caught. \u201cIf that process is very slow, this person has already\nfled somewhere, while we want, as per the President\u2019s directive, firm,\nswift, measured legal steps, we do it immediately,\u201d he asserted.\nFurthermore, Yusril said he cannot yet convey the government\u2019s official\nstance because it must be decided through a coordination meeting. \u201cI\ncannot say \u2018the government\u2019 because for the government, it must be\ndirected through a coordination meeting and await directions from the\nPresident,\u201d he said. Personally, he believes the current legal process\nis already underway. He mentioned that the authorities have taken steps,\nincluding the arrest of the perpetrator by Puspom TNI. \u201cBut personally,\nI think the legal steps have already begun. They have been arrested and\ndetained,\u201d he clarified. Yusril also emphasised the importance of public\noversight of the legal process to keep it transparent. \u201cNow, how\nobservers and the media will monitor what Puspom does, criticise the\nsteps they take,\u201d he said. He encouraged that there should be no\nimpression of information closure in the ongoing legal process.\n\u201cContinuously press them to be transparent. Do not let there be an\nimpression that when this is taken over by Puspom, it seems like they\nwant to cover something up,\u201d he said. The government, continued Yusril,\ndoes not want any closure in handling the case and emphasises the\nimportance of openness. \u201cWe want legal cases to be revealed thoroughly,\nopenly, transparently,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>",
