        "summary": "In a military court hearing in Jakarta, presiding Judge Fredy Ferdian ordered the military prosecutor to ensure the presence of KontraS activist Andrie Yunus, the victim of an acid attack, at the next session on 13 May 2026, after he was unable to attend due to scheduled skin graft surgery. The four military defendants, including Sersan Dua Edi Sudarko, Letnan Satu Budhi Hariyanto Widhi, Kapten Nandala Dwi Prasetya, and Letnan Satu Sami Lakka, are accused of the assault motivated by perceived insults to the TNI institution during an incident at the Fairmont Jakarta hotel on 16 March 2025. The case is charged under multiple articles of the Criminal Code and Law No. 1 of 2023, highlighting tensions between activism and military sensitivities.",
