Andrie Yunus Writes Letter to Prabowo: No Seriousness in Handling My Case Yet
JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - Deputy Coordinator of the Commission for Missing Persons and Victims of Violence (KontraS), Andrie Yunus, has written a letter to President Prabowo Subianto.
The letter was handwritten by Andrie Yunus in black ink on light green HVS-sized paper.
The letter was read by Fatia Maulidiyanti, a member of the Advocacy Team for Democracy (TAUD), in front of the Majapahit gate, the entrance to the Presidential Palace Complex in Jakarta.
Jakarta, 17 April 2026.
To the Honourable Mr Prabowo Subianto, President of the Republic of Indonesia.
More than 30 days have passed; what is the progress of my case?
On Sunday, 12 April 2026, marking 30 days since the planned attempted murder against me through acid spraying terror.
I am writing this letter because I assess that to date, there has been no progress and no serious willingness to resolve this case.
My colleagues from KontraS and TAUD, as my legal representatives, have carried out various efforts to fight for justice in the most respectful manner, from conducting independent investigations, attending a General Hearing Meeting (RDPU) with Commission III of the DPR RI, to filing a Type B report with Bareskrim Polri.
TAUD’s investigation has identified at least 16 field perpetrators, further strengthening my rejection of resolution through military courts.
In various case resolutions that harm civilians, such as forced disappearances, murders, torture, and domestic violence by TNI apparatus through military courts, justice, accountability, and comprehensive institutional responsibility up to the highest command have never been found.
This will only prolong the track record of impunity.
Various parties, including Commission III of the DPR RI in the RDPU, emphasised the importance of resolving this case by prioritising my interests and principles as the victim.
Therefore, it is important to establish an independent Joint Fact-Finding Team (TGPF) to bring this case to civilian courts in order to transparently and accountably uncover all involved parties up to the intellectual actors.
