        "summary": "The Supreme Court of Indonesia has urged law enforcement officials to proactively inform victims of human trafficking (TPPO) about their right to restitution to restore their rights. This guidance is based on the new Criminal Procedure Code, with implementation guidelines provided in a pocket book for TPPO cases, expandable to all criminal matters in the future. Victims can apply for restitution through the Witness and Victim Protection Agency (LPSK) at any stage, supported by government compensation funds under Government Regulation No. 29 of 2025.",
        "content": "<p>Padang (ANTARA) - The Supreme Court (MA) has asked law enforcement\nofficials across the country to actively remind victims of human\ntrafficking crimes (TPPO) about the restitution payment regulations in\norder to restore their rights.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor TPPO cases, all law enforcement apparatus are indeed asked to\nremind victims about restitution,\u201d said Chairman of the Criminal Chamber\nof the MA, Prim Haryadi, in Padang on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>Prim Haryadi said that based on the new Criminal Procedure Code\n(KUHAP), all cases can apply for restitution.<\/p>\n<p>However, its implementation is still awaiting implementing\nregulations, but at the same time, the MA has issued a pocket book\nregulating restitution, particularly for TPPO cases.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor the time being, it is indeed only for certain cases. But in the\nfuture, if referring to this KUHAP, it includes all cases,\u201d said Prim,\nwho is also the General Chairman of the Central Executive Board (DPP) of\nthe Alumni Family Association (IKA) of the Faculty of Law, Andalas\nUniversity (UNAND).<\/p>\n<p>Although the state is present for victims, he said, the MA still\nreminds law enforcement to inform about restitution that can be applied\nfor by TPPO case victims earlier.<\/p>\n<p>He emphasised that law enforcement can play a role in reminding TPPO\nvictims from the investigation stage, prosecution, prosecution up to\ntrial, and even that right does not disappear even if the case has been\ndecided by the judge.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, victims can still apply for a restitution request and it is best\nthrough the Witness and Victim Protection Agency (LPSK),\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, LPSK is one of the institutions that has an\nimportant role in helping TPPO victims calculate the value of losses\nthey have suffered.<\/p>\n<p>The existence of victim assistance funds becomes an important\ninstrument to cover the gap in fulfilling victims\u2019 rights when the\nperpetrator is unable to pay full restitution.<\/p>\n<p>The policy refers to Government Regulation Number 29 of 2025 on\nVictim Assistance Funds, which is a derivative of the Sexual Violence\nCrime Law that provides a legal basis for the state to provide\ncompensation to victims.<\/p>",
