FPTI President Reveals Timeline of Alleged Sexual Harassment Case and Unlawful Dismissal of Former National Training Centre Head Coach

The Indonesian Climbing Federation (FPTI) has officially dismissed the former head coach of the national training centre, Hendra Basir, in an unlawful dismissal. The decision was announced by FPTI Chairman Yenny Wahid at a press conference held at Hotel Santika Premiere, Harapan Indah, Bekasi, on Wednesday 4 March 2026. ‘FPTI has dismissed the former head coach in an unlawful manner,’ Wahid said. The decision follows allegations of sexual harassment and physical violence by Hendra Basir. In the press conference, Wahid also detailed the chronology of the sexual violence allegations surrounding former head coach Hendra Basir. ‘So everyone understands that there has been a very serious event for us and for the entire sporting community. Sexual violence has been experienced by the athletes,’ she added. Wahid continued the chronology by gathering players at a hotel, a psychologist, coaches, and deciding to suspend the national training centre head coach Hendra Basir. ‘So on 28 January, eight athletes came to report the alleged sexual and physical abuse they experienced,’ she said. ‘Then a psychologist was also involved and gathered at the hotel to examine what happened to the athletes. A few days later I issued the head coach’s non-active status (Hendra Basir),’ she explained. Wahid said the meetings always involved a psychologist to examine and provide psychological support for the athletes. The daughter of Indonesia’s fourth President, Abdurrahman Wahid, also confirmed that FPTI is fully committed to supporting the athletes and to building a healthier sporting environment in the future. Consequently, FPTI has formed a Fact-Finding Team to investigate the case. ‘We ensure that we take these allegations seriously,’ she said. ‘We have zero tolerance for misconduct of any kind, especially relating to sexual violence and physical violence,’ she added. Wahid also said the federation has reported the incident to IFSC, the world governing body for sport climbing. ‘In line with the international safeguarding commitments and the rights and duties of athletes, we must meet all obligations,’ she added.
