Coordinating Minister Yusril Investigating Bechi's Parole Process

The Coordinating Minister for Law, Human Rights, Immigration, and Correctional Affairs, Yusril Ihza Mahendra, stated that he is still investigating the parole process for Moch Subchi Azal Tsani, also known as Bechi. Bechi, the perpetrator of sexual violence at the Shidiqqiyyah Islamic Boarding School in Jombang, East Java, is currently serving a seven-year prison sentence.

In an official statement on Thursday (24/9), Yusril noted that although Bechi has met the requirements to obtain parole status, his office will continue to conduct an investigation. This is to ensure that preliminary policies, such as remissions and leave prior to release, were not implemented through any fraudulent practices.
