Four convicts of terrorism crimes at Cilacap Prison and Pasir Putih Prison, Nusakambangan, Central Java, pledged allegiance to the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia (NKRI). "With the Implementation of the Republic of Indonesia, it is hoped that the level will be green, yes. This is also one of the formal requirements in administration to get parole (PB), leave before release (CMB), or reduce detention," said Head of Sub-Directorate for Bina in BNPT Colonel (CZI) Roedy Widodo prison in a statement received in Jakarta, Antara, Thursday, April 6. The Pledge was held in conjunction with the activity of "Safari Ramadan, the National Counterterrorism Agency (BNPT)" with terrorism convicts in Cilacap, Central Java, on April 5-6, 2023. With the Pledge of Loyalty to the Republic of Indonesia, Roedy hopes to increase awareness of defending the country to maintain national unity and integrity, as well as support government programs to create the welfare of the nation. Roedy said that this activity in addition to strengthening coordination with prisons and Densus 88 AT/Polri, is also to build a relationship with terrorist inmates to touch the hearts of terrorist prisoners so that they regret their actions this holy month. One of the terrorism convicts who committed the Pledge of Loyalty to the Republic of Indonesia was RA (25). He admits that he regrets the radical acts and ideologies of terrorism he has adopted. His achievements and education were released simply because he did not comply with his understanding. By stating the Pledge of Loyalty to the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia, he hopes that the person concerned can bounce back and develop the potential that exists in him.

"I want to develop the potentials that exist in me. Many of them are lost because I fell into radicalism," said RA. The implementation of the Pledge of Loyalty to the Republic of Indonesia began by singing the anthem Indonesia Raya, the pronunciation and signing of the oath of allegiance, the pronunciation of Pancasila, and the respect and smell of the Red and White flag. In its implementation, terrorism convicts must release allegiance from terrorism groups.
