Our judicature

From Media Indonesia

Our people have longed to see a fair and non-discriminatory
judiciary in this country.

For a premeditated murder case, the case made by the
prosecutor must not contain the term "mitigating circumstances".
This is especially the case if the perpetrator runs away from
justice and is the alleged mastermind of the crime. It is only
natural that in a case like the one above the prosecutor must
demand the maximum sentence, regardless of whether the
perpetrator is a layman or a rich elite. It will be strange to
learn that the perpetrator of the murder gets a heavier sentence
than the mastermind of this crime.

In another case, for example, a high-ranking official involved
in corruption and spending the state's money freely must be
punished more severely than the thief of a chicken. In this case,
different treatment is still practiced. The thief of a hen must
remain in the cell when his case is being tried, while those
involved in corruption can freely inhale fresh air outside
detention while their case is heard.

Hopefully, pure verdicts based on a sense of justice can
really come from judicial institutions in this country.
