Five Policemen Under Investigation In The Alleged Persecution Of Lutfi Alfian

JAKARTA - The National Police's Professional and Security Division (Propam) has questioned five West Jakarta Metro Police investigators to seek information regarding the alleged persecution of Alfiandi alias Lutfi Alfiandi.

Head of National Police DivHumas Penum Kombes Asep Adi Saputra said the investigators were asked to explain in their entirety during the examination process of Lutfi.

"The team works to carry out the examination, internally or externally, in total five investigators from the West Jakarta Police have been examined," Asep said in Jakarta, Tuesday, January 28.

Later, not only will the investigators be questioned, Propam will also ask for information from Lutfi. Then, the statements from the two parties will be analyzed to find a common thread for the alleged persecution.

The disclosure efforts, it was said, were carried out carefully. The goal is that all of the allegations are proven in accordance with the existing facts.

"The team also asked for Lutfi's information. All are in the process of finding the real legal facts," said Asep.

As previously reported, the National Police Chief, General Idham Aziz, will form a special team to follow up on information on violence experienced by Dede Alfiandi alias Lutfi Alfiandi.

"Yes, there will be a Head of Propam Division. We will check the team if the police really did that," said Idham in Jakarta, Friday, January 24.

He ensured that his members would be punished if it was proven that there was violence against Lutfi during interrogation. Because, in his trial, Lutfi admitted to being electrocuted to admit that he threw stones at the police during a demonstration by STM students at the parliament complex some time ago.

"If it is true I have asked for stern action. If it is also not true, that is a confession, it can also be material for slander of course. So it could be a boomerang for those concerned," said Idham.

For your information, Dede Alfiandi alias Lutfi Alfiandi, a young man whose photo went viral for carrying a flag in the middle of an STM student demonstration, admitted that he was electrocuted by investigators to admit he threw stones at the police during the action.

The admission was presented before a judge during a trial at the Central Jakarta District Court, Monday, January 20.

In his statement, it was stated that the electrocution action by investigators lasted for about 30 minutes. In addition, Luthfi also admitted to experiencing other torture while undergoing an examination at the Central Jakarta Metro Police.
