JAKARTA - Member of Commission I of the Indonesian House of\nRepresentatives (DPR RI) Yulius Setiarto has called for genuine\ntransparency in the trial of the acid-throwing case against KontraS\nactivist at the Military Court, not just a formality.<\/p>\n
He reminded that public scrutiny of the case handling is inseparable\nfrom issues of transparency and potential impunity, as the perpetrators\nare active TNI members.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn my view, the military court must ensure that the entire process\nruns openly to the public in a substantial manner, not merely\nadministratively,\u201d Yulius stated to Kompas.com on Thursday\n(16\/4\/2026).<\/p>\n
Yulius emphasised that access for journalists, independent monitors,\nand civil society must be guaranteed without irrelevant\nrestrictions.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn my view, transparency is not just about procedures, but the\nprimary prerequisite for building public trust that the legal process is\nobjective, non-selective, and free from interference,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Additionally, Yulius reminded the state to guarantee protection for\nthe victim, family, and witnesses who will provide testimony in the\ntrial.<\/p>\n
\u201cI assess that the state has an absolute obligation to ensure the\nsafety of Andrie Yunus, his family, and the witnesses who will provide\ntestimony in the trial,\u201d Yulius stated.<\/p>\n
Therefore, Yulius continued, the role of the Witness and Victim\nProtection Agency (LPSK) is very important to ensure there is no\nintimidation or pressure that could affect the judicial process.<\/p>\n
