        "content": "<p>House Commission I has explained the rules on deploying Indonesian\nmilitary (TNI) personnel during protests, an issue that has drawn\nattention following a student demonstration near the HI Roundabout in\nJakarta on Wednesday (28 October).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the context of managing social conflict, procedures must be\nfollowed before the TNI is involved,\u201d House Commission I member TB\nHasanuddin said in a written statement on Thursday (29 October).<\/p>\n<p>He said TNI involvement in protest security could not be undertaken\narbitrarily. For protests with the potential to lead to conflict,\nHasanuddin said the involvement of the TNI was governed by Law\nNo.\u00a07\/2012 on the Management of Social Conflict.<\/p>\n<p>Articles 44 and 45 of Government Regulation No.\u00a02\/2015 set out the\nrules on TNI involvement in managing social conflict. Hasanuddin said\nthe deployment of TNI personnel must be preceded by a request to the\nPresident from the local government concerned.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, during field operations, TNI personnel are under the\ncontrol of the Indonesian National Police (Polri). Hasanuddin said TNI\nassistance to the police was also linked to provisions on Military\nOperations Other Than War (OMSP), as set out in Article 7 of the TNI Law\nand its amendments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnder the existing provisions, the TNI cannot be deployed without\nmeeting the legal requirements and procedures. The legal basis for its\ninvolvement, who requested it and how it will be carried out must all be\nclear,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, House Commission I Deputy Chair Dave Laksono said the\nTNI\u2019s presence at the protest near the HI Roundabout was normal and in\naccordance with the law. He said both the TNI and Polri were responsible\nfor maintaining order and safeguarding democratic freedoms.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat is normal and in accordance with the TNI Law, which gives it a\nrole in providing security,\u201d he said.<\/p>",
