Legal system protects criminals

Legal system protects criminals

From Koran Tempo

I am not a lawyer, but I have observed that the legal system and practices in Indonesia often protect criminals instead of eradicating crime. Therefore, I think the law in Indonesia does not protect the public against criminal acts.

With crimes such as butchery, cannibalism or ethnic extermination in Sampit, Central Kalimantan, those committing such brutal and inhumane crimes are free from legal action.

Lawyers in Indonesia no longer have any credibility. Some lawyers behave as if they are sensitive to the suffering of others and most obedient to the five-point principle of Pancasila, but in fact they never pay attention to the severe suffering of victims of inhumane crimes. If necessary, Indonesia should import lawyers from other countries in line with our fondness for foreign products.
