        "summary": "In a military court session in Jakarta, a TNI psychologist presented psychological evaluations of four soldiers accused of throwing acid on KontraS activist Andrie Yunus, revealing traits such as impulsivity, low empathy, and practical thinking styles, with no pathological disorders found but potential for risky behaviour noted in each. All defendants expressed significant remorse for the act, which stemmed from resentment over Andrie's interruption of a parliamentary meeting on TNI law revisions. The case highlights tensions between military institutions and human rights activists, with the defendants charged under Indonesia's Criminal Code for violating institutional dignity.",
        "content": "<p>A psychologist from the TNI Psychology Centre, Colonel Arh Agus\nSyahrudin, presented the psychological results of four TNI soldiers\nacting as defendants in the acid attack case against KontraS activist\nAndrie Yunus during a trial at the Military Court II-08 in Jakarta on\nThursday (7\/5). \u201cThe conclusions for each defendant will be read out\naccording to the names submitted by BAIS (Strategic Intelligence\nAgency),\u201d said Agus at the start of the trial. For Defendant I, Sergeant\nTwo Edi Sudarko, he was noted to have limitations in thinking\nflexibility, tending towards impulsivity, and being less effective in\nsolving complex problems. Edi was also described as having an aggressive\nand dominant personality. \u201cNo pathological indications or psychological\ndisorders were found. However, his thinking processes and personality\npatterns have the potential for risky behaviour,\u201d stated Agus. \u201cHe\nappears to have considerable remorse due to the widespread impact of the\naction, not only on himself but also on the victim, family, and\ninstitution. That is the profile from the psychological assessment for\nSerda Edi,\u201d he added. For Defendant II, First Lieutenant Budhi Hariyanto\nWidhi, he was said to lack high analytical ability, leading to actions\nwith insufficient consideration. Budhi was also noted to have a\npersonality that is somewhat cold in relationships, formal, with minimal\nempathy, and a tendency towards impulsivity with weak self-control.\nDuring the examination, Agus explained, no pathological indications were\nfound in Budhi. However, his thinking processes and personality patterns\nhave the potential for risky behaviour. \u201cHe appears to have considerable\nremorse due to the widespread impact of the action, not only on himself\nbut also on the victim, family, and institution,\u201d said Agus. For\nDefendant III, Captain Nandala Dwi Prasetyo, he was described as\nprioritising practical solutions over in-depth analysis in\ndecision-making and problem-solving processes. Nandala\u2019s personality was\ncharacterised as independent, rigid, ignoring emotional closeness, and\nmore task-oriented. \u201cNo pathological indications were found, but his\npersonality pattern has the potential for risky behaviour. He appears to\nhave considerable remorse due to the widespread impact of the action,\nnot only on himself but also on the victim, family, and institution,\u201d\nstated Agus. For Defendant IV, First Lieutenant Sami Lakka, he was said\nto have simple and practical thinking processes. The individual was\nnoted to have low social interest. \u201cTowards that (introverted), but more\nin terms of relatively limited social interest; still able to build\nemotional closeness though it takes time,\u201d explained Agus. He said no\npathological indications were found, but Sami Lakka\u2019s personality\npattern has the potential for risky behaviour. \u201cHe appears to have\nconsiderable remorse due to the widespread impact of the action, not\nonly on himself but also on the victim, family, and institution,\u201d he\nstated. The four TNI soldiers, assigned to the BAIS TNI Headquarters\nDetachment, are accused of throwing acid on the Deputy External\nCoordinator of the Commission for the Disappeared and Victims of\nViolence (KontraS), Andrie Yunus, on the night of 12 May 2026. The\nmotive, according to the prosecutor, was that the defendants harboured a\ngrudge against Andrie for successfully interrupting a parliamentary\nmeeting discussing revisions to the TNI Law held at the Fairmont Hotel\nin South Jakarta in March 2025. \u201cWith that incident, the defendants\nconsidered Andrie Yunus to have insulted the TNI institution, even\ntrampling on the TNI institution,\u201d said the prosecutor when reading the\nindictment in a previous trial. The defendants are charged with\nviolating Article 469 paragraph 1 subsidiary Article 468 paragraph 1\nfurther subsidiary Article 467 paragraph 1 in conjunction with paragraph\n2 in conjunction with Article 20 letter c of Law Number 1 of 2023 on the\nCriminal Code.<\/p>",
