Jakarta, Thekabarnews.com—The Advocacy Team for Democracy (TAUD) has asked Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto to set up a second Joint Fact-Finding Team (TGPF). The goal is to look into the acid attack on Andrie Yunus, a worker for human rights.
TAUD pushed for the decision following discrepancies in reports from the Jakarta Metropolitan Police and Puspom TNI regarding the suspects. Furthermore, they reported different numbers of people involved.
TAUD also said that well-known people, police officers, and members of civil society should be on the proposed fact-finding committee. Such a committee would make sure that the process is open and people trust it.
“The investigation needs to be credible and independent, with involvement from a wide range of groups so that the public can trust the outcomes,” TAUD said in a press release, Friday, March 20, as quoted in DetikNews.
Puspom TNI identified four active military personnel—Captain NDP, First Lieutenant SL, First Lieutenant BHW, and Second Sergeant ES—as suspects in the attack. But TAUD said these claims are unprovable because the first proof is not public.
The police in Jakarta had already said that they thought two men with the initials MAK and BHC were guilty. The police say that one of the suspects rode the motorcycle and the other threw acid at the victim.
TAUD’s research shows something different. The group says it has evidence that more than a dozen people coordinated throughout the night of the incident. Meanwhile, the Indonesian Legal Aid Foundation (YLBHI) made this choice after watching movies.
“This new information suggests that the attack was not a one-time thing but part of a larger, planned, and organized effort,” TAUD said.
The discrepancy between official statements and independent findings has raised concerns about the transparency and thoroughness of the investigation.
TAUD also disagreed with President Prabowo’s earlier statement that the event was an act of terrorism. Then they discussed the need to find those responsible, especially those in charge.
“If you call what happened terrorism, you should do everything possible to find and punish the people who planned it,” the group said.
The incident has attracted considerable attention. It is now a crucial indicator of Indonesia’s dedication to upholding the law and protecting individual rights.
As the pressure grows, more and more people are asking for a fair and open investigation. Many people want the government to punish individuals who break the law and make them believe in the law again.
