The handover took place in the hall of the North Gorontalo\nProsecutor\u2019s Office on Friday, after RS\u2019s case was resolved through\nrestorative justice.<\/p>\n
Aditya said the prosecution was halted under a formal decision issued\nby the head of the North Gorontalo Prosecutor\u2019s Office and an order from\nthe chair of the Limboto District Court.<\/p>\n
He explained that the case met the requirements for resolution\nthrough restorative justice as set out in Articles 79 to 88 of Law\nNo.\u00a020 of 2025 on the Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP), as well as other\nrelevant regulations.<\/p>\n
Under this mechanism, the handling of RS\u2019s case focused on medical\nand social rehabilitation rather than imprisonment.<\/p>\n
Aditya said the use of restorative justice in narcotics abuse cases\nwas a legal approach that prioritised recovery for users or addicts who\nmet the requirements.<\/p>\n
He said the approach gave the individual an opportunity to recover\nand return to community life.<\/p>\n
\u201cResolving the case through restorative justice is expected to give\nthe individual a second chance to recover and improve himself, and\neventually to be accepted back into society, as well as to ensure that\nhe does not repeat the offence,\u201d Aditya said.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/north-gorontalo-prosecutors-office-halts-prosecution-in-narcotics-case-1792137152", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
