Amien Rais Visits Jokowi, Asking For The Shooting Of FPI Troops Case To Be Brought To The Human Rights Court

JAKARTA - The Murder Incident Guard Team (TP3) initiated by Amien Rais, Marwan Batubara, Abdullah Hehamahua, and several other people came to President Joko Widodo at the State Palace.

Seven TP3 members came to the State Palace at around 10.00 a.m local time. His meeting with Jokowi, who was accompanied by Coordinating Ministry for Political, Legal and Security Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia (Menkopolhukam) Mahfud MD and State Secretary Pratikno, only lasted about 15 minutes.

Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal, and Security Affairs Mahfud MD said the atmosphere of the meeting was quite serious in a short time. In essence, Amien Rais asked Jokowi to hold a human rights court related to the shooting of six FPI troops.

This is because they believe that there have been killings that were committed by gross human rights violations, not ordinary human rights violations.

"Earlier they stated that they believed that six FPI troops had been killed and they asked that this be brought to a human rights court for gross human rights violations. That was conveyed to the president", Mahfud said in a YouTube broadcast of the Presidential Secretariat, Tuesday, March 9.

To Jokowi, Amien Rais et al reminded that there must be law enforcement in accordance with legal provisions and in accordance with God's orders, regarding the deaths of six FPI troops.

"God's orders are that the law is fair. Second, there is a threat from God, if people kill believers without rights, then the threat is hell", said Mahfud, imitating TP3's words.

For information, six members of the FPI troop members were shot dead by the police. They were given strict action for attacking police officers.

The police's firm action began with a police investigation regarding the schedule for examining Rizieq Shihab. This is because the police received information that there would be a mass mobilization.

However, during the investigation process by following Rizieq's movement, members of the Polda Metro Jaya were actually attacked. According to the police, the attack took place on the Jakarta-Cikampek KM 50 toll road.

Then, about 10 of the special troops attacked the member's car using firearms (senpi) and sharp weapons (sajam). Until finally the police returned the shots.

As a result, six people died at the location. Meanwhile, the other four troops fled.
