        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Ministry of Human Rights (KemenHAM) has\nassessed that the alleged confinement of a woman with the initials YTR\nfor three years in Bandung, West Java, generally meets the elements of a\nhuman rights violation, although further investigation is still\nrequired. \u201cGenerally speaking, does it meet the violations? Yes, because\na person has the right to freedom of movement,\u201d said Sofia Alatas,\nActing Director General of Human Rights Instruments and Strengthening at\nthe Ministry of Human Rights, in Jakarta on Tuesday. Sofia stated that\nevery person has the right to move without experiencing unilateral\nrestrictions. According to her, the act of restricting someone\u2019s freedom\nto the point where they cannot move or carry out activities normally is\nin principle contrary to human rights. Nevertheless, she stressed that\nthe Ministry of Human Rights cannot yet officially conclude that the\ncase constitutes a human rights violation because it still requires\ndeeper investigation. Regarding further handling, Sofia said the\nMinistry of Human Rights, whether through regional offices or the\ncentral office, will conduct an investigation if a case falling under\nits authority is found. \u201cUsually when there is a case, there is an\nimmediate order to go down. It could be the regional office that goes\ndown, or we from the centre who go down because we have regional\noffices,\u201d she said. The case came to light after the victim\u2019s family\nreceived a WhatsApp message from an unknown person informing them that\nthe victim was in the Emergency Department of Hasan Sadikin Hospital\n(RSHS) in Bandung. The case is now being handled by the West Java\nRegional Police. Police stated they will soon issue a wanted persons\nlist (DPO) for a man with the initials TH who is suspected of carrying\nout the confinement and abuse. Head of Public Relations for the West\nJava Regional Police, Hendra Rochmawan, said investigators are currently\nstill in the process of naming the suspect before issuing the DPO for\nthe alleged perpetrator.<\/p>",
