'Destroy data on enemies of the state'

JAKARTA: All intelligence data and information on people who allegedly committed crimes against the state must be made available to the public and destroyed, according to the National Commission on Human Rights (Komnas HAM).

Abdul Hakim Garuda Nusantara, chairman of the commission, said on Thursday that the data violated the spirit of human rights and could easily be misused, therefore must be destroyed.

"In the past, some groups were labeled as left-wing or right- wing, which attracted repressive action by authorities," he said. -- Antara
