Jakarta (ANTARA) - The reading of the judges\u2019 verdict regarding the\nalleged assault on the Vice Coordinator of KontraS, Andram Yunus, which\ninvolves four members of the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI) as\ndefendants, will be held on Wednesday, 10 June.<\/p>\n
Presiding Judge Colonel Fredy Ferdian Isnartanto stated that the\nschedule was agreed upon following the reading of the indictment, which\nwill be followed by the plea (defence note), replication (response to\nthe defence), and rejoinder (response to the replication).<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was agreed yesterday that the verdict hearing will be held on 10\nJune 2026, and the plea hearing will take place tomorrow, 4 June 2026,\u201d\nthe Presiding Judge stated during the indictment reading at the Military\nCourt II-08 Jakarta on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
The four defendants are Sergeant Edi Sudarko, First Lieutenant Budhi\nHariyanto Widhi, Captain Nandala Dwi Prasetya, and Lieutenant Sami\nLakka.<\/p>\n
The Presiding Judge noted that defences may be presented individually\nby each defendant alongside their legal counsel.<\/p>\n
Regarding the case, the four TNI personnel have been sentenced to a\nprison term of two years and six months (2.5 years) each. The Military\nProsecutor believes the defendants are proven guilty of committing a\ncriminal offence, specifically participating in premeditated assault\nresulting in serious injury.<\/p>\n
In this case, the four TNI personnel are accused of splashing acid on\nAndrie with the intention of providing a \u2018lesson\u2019 and a \u2018deterrent\neffect\u2019 to prevent him from disparaging the TNI institution.<\/p>\n
The defendants\u2019 grievances stemmed from Andrie\u2019s actions, which they\nperceived as insulting the TNI institution. This includes an incident on\n16 March 2025, when the activist from the Commission for the Disappeared\nand Victims of Violence (KontraS) forcibly entered and interrupted a\nmeeting regarding the revision of the TNI Law in Jakarta.<\/p>\n
Other factors that angered the defendants included Andrie\u2019s lawsuit\nagainst the TNI Law in the Constitutional Court, his allegations that\nthe TNI intimidated or terrorised the KontraS office, his claims that\nthe TNI was behind the riots in late August 2025, and his active\npromotion of anti-militarism narratives.<\/p>\n
Consequently, the actions of the TNI personnel, who allegedly planned\nthe acid attack on Andrie knowing the chemical liquid could cause severe\nburns, were deemed inappropriate for members of the TNI. For their\nactions, the four defendants face criminal penalties under Article 469\nparagraph (1), or Article 468 paragraph (1), or Article 467 paragraph\n(1) in conjunction with paragraph (2) of Article 20 letter C of the\nNational Criminal Code (KUHP).<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/verdict-hearing-for-andrie-yunus-acid-attack-case-scheduled-for-10-june-1780852042", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
