        "summary": "Dozens of students from BEM Nusantara Jawa Timur protested at the Kodam V\/Brawijaya headquarters in Surabaya, demanding transparency in investigating violence cases allegedly involving TNI members, particularly the acid attack on KontraS activist Andrie Yunus. The protesters called for trials of such cases involving civilians to be handled in general courts rather than military ones to ensure objective justice, highlighting a crisis in trust towards military internal mechanisms. This action underscores broader concerns about military accountability in Indonesia, with the military police having recently completed the investigation and handed over four suspects to the military prosecutor.",
        "content": "<p>Dozens of students affiliated with BEM Nusantara Jawa Timur staged a\nprotest at the Kodam V\/Brawijaya headquarters in Surabaya on Thursday\n(9\/4). They demanded transparency in the investigation of several\nviolence cases allegedly involving TNI members, including the acid\nspraying against KontraS activist Andrie Yunus. Observations at the\nlocation showed the students wearing all-black attire. They unfurled\nposters and banners with protest messages such as \u2018Thoroughly\nInvestigate the Andrie Yunus Case\u2019, \u2018Return the TNI to the Barracks\u2019,\nand \u2018Reform is Not a Formality\u2019. BEM Nusantara Jawa Timur Coordinator\nDeni Oktaviano Pratama stated that this action serves as a reminder for\nmilitary institutions to operate within the corridors of law and\nhumanity, including in the acid attack on Andrie Yunus allegedly carried\nout by dozens of TNI members. \u201cThe violence case against activist Andrie\nYunus also indicates suspected inhumane violent practices. Public\nrejection of resolution through military courts shows that trust in the\nmilitary institution\u2019s internal mechanisms is in crisis,\u201d said Deni. In\nother regions, Deni added, allegations of violence and abuse of\nauthority, such as the stray bullet incident affecting a junior high\nschool student in Gresik and a traffic accident involving military\nvehicles that claimed civilian lives, further reinforce a recurring\npattern of weak accountability and minimal responsibility towards\nvictims. According to him, no institution or individual should be immune\nfrom the law, including military personnel. The supremacy of law, he\nsaid, must be upheld without discrimination, and justice must side with\nthe victims, not power. \u201cWe directed this action to the Kodam\nV\/Brawijaya headquarters not without reason. As the representation of\nthe TNI\u2019s territorial strength in East Java, Kodam has moral,\ninstitutional, and command responsibility over various dynamics in its\nregion,\u201d he stated. \u201cOur presence in front of Kodam is not an act of\nhostility towards the TNI institution, but rather a reminder that\nmilitary strength must always align with humanitarian values, law, and\ndemocracy,\u201d he added. Kodam V\/Brawijaya, he said, should serve as a\nsymbol of the institution\u2019s moral responsibility, where the people\u2019s\nvoices must be heard, criticism accepted, and justice upheld. During the\nprotest, the students presented at least seven main demands, including\nurging that every case involving civilians be tried in general courts,\nnot military ones. This aims to ensure open and objective justice. \u201cWe\ndemand transparent and comprehensive investigations into all cases\ninvolving TNI members in East Java and Indonesia. We demand that every\ncase involving civilians be processed through general courts to ensure\nopen and objective justice,\u201d he said. Deni also added that this action\nspecifically requests Kodam V\/Brawijaya to actively push for the\nresolution of the case to the central level. \u201cWe urge the TNI\ninstitution, particularly Kodam V\/Brawijaya, to provide recommendations\nand push to TNI Headquarters for immediate thorough investigation,\u201d he\nadded. Investigation Completed Previously, the TNI Military Police\nCentre had completed the investigation process in the acid spraying\nterror case against Andrie Yunus. TNI Kapuspen Major General Aulia Dwi\nNasrullah stated that Puspom had handed over the case file, the\nsuspects, and evidence to the Military Prosecutor (Otmil) II-07 Jakarta.\n\u201cToday, Tuesday, 7 April 2026, the case file, suspects, and evidence of\nthe criminal assault against Mr AY have been handed over from the Puspom\nTNI investigators to Otmil II-07 Jakarta,\u201d Aulia said in his statement\non Tuesday (7\/4). According to him, the file will next be examined for\ncompleteness, both formally and materially. If deemed complete, the case\nwill be brought to the Military Court II-08 Jakarta. \u201cThe suspects\nhanded over number four individuals with initials: NDP, SL, BHW, ES,\nalong with the evidence,\u201d Aulia said.<\/p>",
