        "summary": "The Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP) through its faction leader in DPR's Commission III, Safaruddin, has suggested possible civilian involvement in the acid attack on KontraS activist Andrie Yunus and urged that the case be resolved in the general court under the new Article 170 of the Criminal Code. This push stems from the evolving investigation, which initially involved TNI personnel but may include civilians, necessitating a connected trial process between military and civilian jurisdictions. The formation of a working group by Commission III aims to oversee the synergy between Polri and TNI to ensure the trial proceeds appropriately in the public court system.",
        "content": "<p>The Chairman of the PDIP Faction Group in DPR RI\u2019s Commission III,\nSafaruddin, has raised the possibility of civilian involvement in the\nacid attack case against KontraS activist Andrie Yunus. He is pushing\nfor the case to be resolved in the general court. Safaruddin initially\nshared his views on the potential civilian involvement in the acid\nattack case. He noted that the TNI has also issued a press release on\nthe matter. \u201cI believe my colleagues are aware that the TNI\u2019s POM has\nalready issued a press release. Of course, the implementation will\ndepend on how the case develops; it\u2019s not that TNI personnel themselves\nare involved, but there might be civilians implicated given the ongoing\ninvestigation developments,\u201d Safaruddin said during a press conference\nat the DPR RI in Jakarta on Wednesday (18\/3\/2026). Safaruddin then\ndiscussed the application of the new Article 170 of the Criminal Code\nregarding case connectivity. According to him, the case must adhere to\nthose provisions. \u201cAs mentioned by the Commission Chairman earlier, we\nwill follow Article 170 of the new Criminal Code on how trials between\nmilitary and civilians will proceed. It will be outlined there,\u201d he\nstated. Further, he explained that the connectivity in question means\nbringing the acid attack case to the general court. He emphasised that\nthe Commission III DPR working group was formed to oversee this. \u201cYes,\ndue to this connectivity, the trial will be based on Article 170 of the\nCriminal Code. That\u2019s why we formed the working group to monitor it,\u201d he\nclarified. \u201cThis is why we need to see synergy between Polri and TNI.\nSo, just read Article 170 of the Criminal Code; the trial will be in the\ngeneral court,\u201d he added.<\/p>",
