        "summary": "In a military court hearing in Jakarta, witness Lieutenant Colonel Alwi Hakim Nasution testified that no specific orders were issued for the acid attack on KontraS activist Andrie Yunus, attributing the defendants' actions to personal grievances over Yunus's disruption of a closed TNI bill meeting. The presiding judge probed deeply into whether any institutional directives or intelligence operations were involved, but Alwi maintained that the incident stemmed solely from the defendants feeling offended, with no evidence of broader commands. This case highlights tensions between military personnel and human rights advocates in Indonesia, underscoring accountability issues within the armed forces.",
        "content": "<p>JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - The Deputy Head of D-31 Pampers at the\nDirectorate of BAIS TNI, Lieutenant Colonel Chk Alwi Hakim Nasution,\nstated that there was no specific order regarding the acid attack on the\nDeputy Coordinator of the Commission for Missing Persons and Victims of\nViolence (KontraS), Andrie Yunus. Alwi made this statement while\nappearing as a witness presented by the auditor in the continuation of\nthe acid attack case trial at the Military Court II-08 Jakarta on\nWednesday (6\/5\/2026). In this case, four TNI BAIS members are on trial\nas defendants: Sergeant Two Edi Sudarko, First Lieutenant Budhi\nHariyanto Widhi, Captain Nandala Dwi Prasetya, and First Lieutenant Sami\nLakka. They were offended because Andrie forced his way in and\ninterrupted a meeting discussing the TNI Bill at the Fairmont Hotel,\nJakarta. The Chief Judge of the Panel, Fredy Ferdian, questioned the\nmotive of the defendants, who were deemed to have no direct connection\nto Andrie or the TNI Bill discussion. \u201cPermission. The admission to us\nis because they felt hurt by Andrie Yunus\u2019s behaviour when he forced his\nway into the closed meeting, so the defendants felt hurt,\u201d Alwi replied.\nThe judge then delved deeper into the possibility of a specific order\nbehind the attack. \u201cThere was none, Your Honour,\u201d Alwi answered. Alwi\nemphasised that from the investigation conducted, no special operations\nor orders from the institution were found. \u201cTo the best of our knowledge\nand investigation, there were none. The defendants simply felt\nhumiliated and hurt by Andrie Yunus. Nothing else,\u201d said Alwi. \u201cI don\u2019t\nknow yet, I also want to ask for our knowledge. BAIS has Dir A, B, C, D,\nor whatever it is. For example, sorry, if this was indeed an order, a\ncommand, an intelligence operation, say, which Director would handle\nthat?\u201d the judge asked.<\/p>",
