        "summary": "Human Rights Minister Natalius Pigai has demanded the full weight of the law be applied to Taufik Hidayat, the perpetrator of a brutal confinement and torture case in Bandung, ruling out any form of restorative justice. Pigai emphasised that the state must ensure justice for the victim and her family, highlighting the case's broader impact on public fear, particularly among women. The suspect was arrested after allegedly holding a 29-year-old woman captive and torturing her for approximately three years.",
        "content": "<p>Human Rights Minister Natalius Pigai has insisted that Taufik\nHidayat, the perpetrator of the confinement and sadistic torture of a\nwoman with the initials YTR (29) in Bandung Regency, West Java, receive\na commensurate punishment. Pigai stressed that there must be no\nrestorative justice for Taufik. \u201cI demand the legal process be upheld\nand there must be no restorative justice. A punishment must be given so\nthat the same act is not repeated in the future,\u201d said Pigai. According\nto Pigai, the Ministry of Human Rights, through its West Java Regional\nOffice, has deployed personnel to the field to monitor the handling of\nthe case. Pigai asserted that the state must be present to ensure the\nvictim obtains justice and the protection of human rights. Pigai\nassessed that the abuse, accompanied by physical and psychological\ntorture, not only injured the victim but also impacted her family and\ncreated fear within the community, particularly among women. Therefore,\nPigai stated that all legal provisions concerning the protection of\nwomen and children must be applied consistently. According to Pigai,\nwomen and children are vulnerable groups that must receive state\nprotection through various institutions, such as the National Commission\non Violence Against Women (Komnas Perempuan), the National Commission on\nHuman Rights (Komnas HAM), and the Ministry of Human Rights. \u201cHumanity\ninvolves a relationship between a man and a woman to protect and look\nafter each other, not to torture one another,\u201d he said. Pigai also\nrequested that law enforcement officials pay attention to the sense of\njustice of the victim and her family in handling the case. He argued\nthat the measure of justice must consider the perspective of the victim\nand the family, not solely the assessment of other parties. The\ngovernment, Pigai continued, will continue to push for law enforcement\nin cases related to human rights violations to prevent recurrence and\nensure optimal protection for vulnerable groups. Previously, the West\nJava Regional Police arrested a man named Taufik Hidayat suspected of\nconfining and torturing a woman with the initials YTR (29) in Bandung\nRegency for approximately three years. The case came to light after the\nvictim\u2019s family received a message via WhatsApp from an unknown person\ninforming them that the victim was in the Emergency Room of Hasan\nSadikin Hospital (RSHS) Bandung.<\/p>",
