Human Rights Minister Requests Transparency in Andrie Yunus Case Trial

Jakarta (ANTARA) - Human Rights Minister Natalius Pigai has requested that the judicial process in the acid attack case against KontraS Deputy Coordinator Andrie Yunus be conducted transparently.

“We all want it to be opened transparently, carry out the judicial process objectively and impartially,” Pigai said after a working meeting with Commission XIII of the House of Representatives at the parliamentary complex in Senayan, Jakarta, on Tuesday.

According to Pigai, this stance aligns with the directive from President Prabowo Subianto, who has called for the case to be thoroughly investigated.

“If the President has stated to investigate thoroughly, that means it is an order to all to carry out a legal process that is transparent, impartial, and objective,” he said.

“We, the government, cannot direct the legal process in any particular direction because we know the principle of trias politica. The executive cannot regulate or direct the judicial process,” he stated.

Pigai also invited the public to respect the ongoing legal process and to avoid mass judgments or excessive judgments through media reporting.

The Military Police have designated four members of the TNI Strategic Intelligence Agency as suspects, namely Captain NDP, First Lieutenant SL, First Lieutenant BHW, and Second Sergeant ES.

“The four perpetrators have been designated as suspects and are undergoing detention at the military detention facility,” said TNI Information Centre Head Major General TNI Aulia Dwi Nasrullah in an official press release received in Jakarta.

The four suspects have been detained since 18 March 2026 and are still under the supervision of the Jayakarta Military Regional Command Military Police. Investigators are also continuing to gather statements by examining several witnesses.
