        "summary": "The Military Court II-08 in Jakarta will conduct an open trial for the acid attack on KontraS deputy coordinator Andrie Yunus without involving ad hoc judges, as confirmed by its head, Colonel Chk Fredy Ferdian Isnartanto, who emphasized that the case falls under military jurisdiction due to the involvement of four TNI soldiers from BAIS. This decision follows Vice President Gibran Rakabuming's earlier suggestion for professional ad hoc judges to ensure fairness, highlighting the government's commitment under President Prabowo Subianto to a transparent and accountable judicial system. The incident occurred on 12 March 2026, underscoring ongoing concerns about justice and public trust in handling cases involving military personnel.",
        "content": "<p>JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - The Head of the Military Court II-08 Jakarta,\nColonel Chk Fredy Ferdian Isnartanto, has assured that the trial for the\nacid attack case against the Deputy Coordinator of the Commission for\nMissing Persons and Victims of Violence (KontraS), Andrie Yunus, will be\nheld openly without involving ad hoc judges.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe panel has not been appointed yet, because the procedure requires\nme to examine the file, to review and check whether the file meets the\nformal and material requirements. If it does, it will be registered,\u201d\nsaid Fredy at the Military Court II-08 Jakarta on Thursday\n(16\/4\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOnce registered, I will appoint the judges, and the appointment of\njudges will be in the form of a determination. So, the determination of\njudges and all of them will be career judges, military judges. So, not\nad hoc judges,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt has all been entered into that. If it were to go to civilian\ncourt, it would be the wrong channel. The channel is wrong. Because the\ncurrent legitimate channel is the military court,\u201d said Fredy.<\/p>\n<p>He explained that the trial is being conducted in the military court\nbecause the defendants are TNI soldiers who are the legal subjects in\nthis case.<\/p>\n<p>This case involves four TNI BAIS soldiers, namely Captain Nandala Dwi\nPrasetia (NDP), Lieutenant Sami Lakka (SL), Lieutenant Budhi Hariyanto\nWidhi (BHW), and Sergeant Edi Sudarko (ES).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAre the subjects military? If we look at the four defendants, they\nare military, so it falls under the subject matter. Absolute\njurisdiction applies. For relative jurisdiction, is the locus in\nJakarta? As friends know from yesterday, the locus is around Cipto\nHospital, yes, Salemba with Cipto Hospital, that falls in Jakarta,\u201d\nexplained Fredy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen, from their unit, does their unit fall under the jurisdiction\nof the Jakarta Military Court? It turns out it does fall under our legal\njurisdiction. Therefore, both absolute and relative jurisdiction apply,\u201d\nhe stated.<\/p>\n<p>Previously, the Vice President of the Republic of Indonesia, Gibran\nRakabuming, had proposed involving ad hoc judges from professional\ncircles in the trial of the acid attack case against KontraS Deputy\nCoordinator Andrie Yunus.<\/p>\n<p>Gibran emphasised that the government under the leadership of\nPresident Prabowo Subianto is committed to strengthening the judicial\nsystem to make it fairer and more trusted.<\/p>\n<p>Gibran also wanted justice not only to be enforced but also to be\nbelieved by the public.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJustice must be present tangibly in the midst of society, and the\nlegal process must run honestly, openly, and accountably,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>The acid attack incident on Andrie Yunus occurred on Thursday night\n(12\/3\/2026).<\/p>",
