The National Human Rights Commission (Komnas HAM) has urged the\nNational Police Criminal Investigation Agency (Bareskrim Polri) to take\nover the handling of the acid attack case against Kontras activist\nAndrie Yunus, to ensure the case is uncovered thoroughly and\ntransparently.<\/p>\n
Komnas HAM Commissioner Amiruddin Al Rahab stressed that this step is\nimportant to expedite the legal process and leave no room for the loss\nof evidence.<\/p>\n
\u201cKomnas HAM states that Bareskrim Polri needs to take over this\ncase,\u201d Amiruddin told reporters on Tuesday (31\/3).<\/p>\n
He explained that the longer the case handling takes, the greater the\npotential for evidence to be concealed. Therefore, the takeover by\nBareskrim is deemed capable of accelerating and clarifying the\ninvestigation process.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo that this case can be fully opened and the process can be quick.\nBecause the longer it takes, there is potential room for concealing\nevidence,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Additionally, Amiruddin assessed that handling at the regional police\nlevel has not been adequate to uncover the case, which is suspected to\ninvolve many parties, including military elements.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe second point is that this involves the Head of TNI\u2019s Central\nSecurity and Escort Unit. Well, if it\u2019s still at Polda, the Polda level\nis only a Brigadier General handling it, that\u2019s why I urge Bareskrim so\nthat the authority used is also adequate to open this case,\u201d he\ncontinued.<\/p>\n
According to him, Polri must not stop at the initial investigation\nstage, even though the TNI has announced suspects from the ranks of\nsoldiers.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut this must certainly uncover the involvement of many parties, and\nthat is under Polri. That\u2019s why I say Polri through Bareskrim must enter\nthis now, so it can be faster,\u201d he revealed.<\/p>\n
Amiruddin also emphasised the importance of transparency to the\npublic regarding developments in the case handling.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think if steps like that are taken, this case can be opened wider.\nThere have been many repeated cases like this. Whether this case is\nconnected? We don\u2019t know yet today,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n
Previously, Polda Metro Jaya had named two individuals with initials\nBHC and MAK as the executors of the acid attack on Kontras Deputy\nCoordinator Andrie Yunus.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, four TNI soldiers are also suspected of being\ninvolved in the incident that occurred on Thursday night (12\/3\/2026) in\nthe Senen area, Central Jakarta. The four, with initials NDP, SL, BHW,\nand ES, are known to be assigned to the Headquarters Detachment (Denma)\nof TNI\u2019s BAIS and are now detained at the TNI Military Police Centre\n(Puspom) TNI.<\/p>\n
The acid splashing incident occurred after Andrie finished recording\na podcast at the office of the Indonesian Legal Aid Foundation (YLBHI),\nMenteng.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/national-human-rights-commission-urges-national-police-criminal-investigation-agency-to-take-over-andrie-1774943673", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
