Kompolnas immediately monitored the\ninvestigation at Metro Jaya Regional Police,\u201d said Kompolnas\nCommissioner Yusuf Warsyim when confirmed in Jakarta on Wednesday\n(18\/3). According to Yusuf, Polri is very serious in handling the case,\nwhich has drawn the attention of the entire Indonesian public regarding\nfreedom of democracy. \u201cIn our monitoring, Polri is very serious.\nTherefore, to ensure that this seriousness is known to the public, Polri\nneeds to provide information updates to the public on the progress of\nthe investigation,\u201d Yusuf explained. In addition, Kompolnas is still\ncoordinating with Metro Jaya Regional Police regarding the arrest of two\nsuspected perpetrators of the acid attack on activist Andrie Yunus and\nwhether there is any connection to the four TNI members secured by the\nTNI Central Inspectorate in relation to a similar case. \u201cMeanwhile,\nKompolnas is still coordinating with Metro Jaya Regional Police to\nconfirm the arrest of four TNI personnel by the TNI Central\nInspectorate, whether it is related to the investigation by Metro Jaya\nRegional Police,\u201d he revealed. If there is a connection, said Yusuf,\nMetro Jaya Regional Police can provide information to the public as\ntransparency of information on the case. \u201cOf course, if there is a\nconnection, either direct or indirect, we hope that Metro Jaya Regional\nPolice can provide information to the public as an update on the\ninvestigation progress that has been informed that the suspected\nperpetrators are more than one person,\u201d he stated. Previously, Metro\nJaya Regional Police revealed two initials of suspected perpetrators in\nthe acid attack case against the Deputy Coordinator of the Commission\nfor the Disappeared and Victims of Violence (KontraS), Andrie Yunus. \u201cWe\ncan inform that the two people we showed earlier, from one Polri data,\none with initials BHC, and one with initials MAK,\u201d said the Director of\nCriminal Investigation of Metro Jaya Regional Police, Commissioner\nPolice Iman Imanuddin, during a press conference in Jakarta on\nWednesday. However, Iman explained that based on the investigation\nresults, it does not rule out the possibility that the perpetrators\nnumber more than four people, as per initial information provided and\nbased on statements from several witnesses who have been questioned,\nnamely 15 witnesses.<\/p>",
