        "content": "<p>Human Rights Minister Natalius Pigai has stated he respects the\nverdict handed down by the Jakarta Military Court II-08 against the\nperpetrators of an acid attack on KontraS Deputy Coordinator Andrie\nYunus. \u201cAs good citizens, that is a court ruling and the law regulates\nit, so everyone must obediently comply with the law,\u201d Pigai told\nreporters at the Parliament Complex in Senayan, Central Jakarta, on\nWednesday, 17 June 2026. Pigai assessed that the verdict issued by the\nMilitary Court must not be challenged. \u201cIt has been sentenced, right? If\nit has been sentenced, we cannot oppose the court\u2019s ruling as citizens,\u201d\nhe explained. Previously, the Jakarta Military Court II-08 sentenced\nfour Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI) soldiers to prison terms\nranging from 1 year and 6 months to 3 years after they were found guilty\nof assaulting Andrie Yunus. Specifically, Second Sergeant Edi Sudarko\nwas sentenced to 3 years in prison, First Lieutenant Budhi Hariyanto\nWidhi to 2 years and 6 months, Captain Nandala Dwi Prasetya to 2 years,\nand First Lieutenant Sami Lakka to 1 year and 6 months. \u201cThe defendants\nhave been legally and convincingly proven guilty of committing a\ncriminal act as per the more subsidiary indictment, participating in an\nassault resulting in serious injury with prior planning,\u201d said presiding\njudge Colonel Fredy Ferdian Isnartanto of the Legal Corps when reading\nthe verdict at the Jakarta Military Court II-08 on Wednesday, 10 June\n2026. In addition to prison sentences, the panel of judges also imposed\nan additional penalty of dismissal from military service for Second\nSergeant Edi and First Lieutenant Budhi, as they were identified as the\nmasterminds behind the acid attack. The four TNI personnel were proven\nto have thrown acid at activist Andrie Yunus with the intention of\nteaching him a lesson and creating a deterrent effect to prevent him\nfrom disparaging the TNI institution.<\/p>",
