On Komnas-Ham reshuffle

The Pancasila Youth Front (FPI) and the Maluku Muslim Young Generation
(FORGEMMA) are right in demanding that the House of Representatives should
urge the National Commission on Human Rights (Komnas Ham) to dissolve
itself or at least reshuffle its members.

There is an indication that Komnas Ham activists are not executing their
duties properly. Viewing what they have done, it is obvious that they have
conspired to drive the Indonesian Military into a corner.

In fact, as members of Komnas Ham, they should at least observe the
following criteria: 1. They should be nonpartisan. 2. They should not take
sides. 3. They should be able to concentrate on doing things for people
whose rights have been abused. 4. They should be highly dedicated and have
integrity. 5. They should be loyal to the nation and state.

However, the members of the Komnas Ham seem to be lacking those
requirements. I therefore strongly believe that a reorganization of its
personnel is highly necessary to meet the people's expectations, i.e., the
prevalence of truth and justice.

The House of Representatives and the government are empowered to find the
right and credible figures to guide Komnas Ham. Everything will be running
well if the above requirements are fulfilled.
