Comedian Pandji Pragiwaksono stated that he was questioned on 17\nmatters by investigators from the Cybercrime Directorate of the\nIndonesian National Police\u2019s Criminal Investigation Division regarding a\ncase of alleged insult to Toraja custom.<\/p>\n
He was questioned concerning customary court proceedings in Toraja.\n\u201cSeventeen, if I\u2019m not mistaken. Seventeen questions. Relating to the\ncustomary court in Toraja,\u201d Pandji told reporters outside the Criminal\nInvestigation Division building on Monday, 9 March.<\/p>\n
Pandji also stated that he was asked to provide explanations about\nthe customary court process that he had previously undergone with\nrepresentatives of the Toraja indigenous community. \u201cWhat was discussed\nwas the court process itself, what happened, what was agreed upon,\u201d he\nexplained.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was asked to confirm who was involved. Then I asked the\ninvestigator to verify directly with the Toraja community\nrepresentatives there because I did not want to get wrong the names,\npositions, and particularly the locations,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Regarding any subsequent summons, Pandji said he had no further\ninformation. \u201cThere is no information on that as far as I or we\nunderstand. I was called today simply for this purpose. So it seems\nthere may not be anything more,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Earlier, in the Toraja customary court proceedings, Pandji was handed\na customary sanction requiring him to apologise to the ancestors and pay\none pig and five chickens. The sanction was imposed during customary\ncourt proceedings at Tongkonan Layuk Kaero, Sangalla, Tana Toraja, on\nTuesday, 10 February.<\/p>\n
Pandji accepted the decision gracefully and apologised to the Toraja\ncommunity. He pledged to improve himself going forward and would not\nrepeat similar mistakes in the future.<\/p>\n
A report against Pandji was filed by the Toraja Youth Alliance Police\nregarding allegations of insult and\/or hate speech containing SARA\n(ethnic, religious, racial, and inter-group) elements against the Toraja\ncommunity.<\/p>\n
The Director of the Cybercrime Division of the Criminal Investigation\nDivision Brigadier General Himawan Bayu Aji stated that the results of\nthe Toraja customary court proceedings that Pandji had undergone would\nbe considered in line with the application of living law (laws governing\nthe community) with national criminal law.<\/p>\n
For this reason, Himawan said that the customary justice process that\nPandji had already completed would be taken into consideration in case\ndeliberations as to whether he could be named a suspect or not.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/pandji-questioned-on-17-matters-regarding-toraja-customary-court-proceedings-1773042808", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
