Members Of The House Of Representatives Urge Central Java Police To Handle Sexual Harassment Cases In Surakarta

JAKARTA - Member of Commission III of the DPR Abdullah urged the Central Java Police (Central Java) to handle cases of rape and sexual harassment by boarding houses in Surakarta. He asked the Central Java Police to also be transparent in handling the case.

This was said by Abdullah in response to a complaint submitted by Yudi Setiasno as the husband of the wife with the initials ADW, as well as the father of the child with the initials KDY who is a victim of rape and sexual harassment by boarding house residents in Surakarta.

In an audience submitted to CommissionIIIDPR, Yudi said the case he had reported to the Surakarta Police was adrift or without clarity for seven (7) years.

"Central Java Police must handle it transparently and convey any developments to the public," Abdullah said, Friday, December 20.

In addition to this case, Abdullah revealed, there were also cases of raping a brother and sister in Purworejo whose handling was considered slow until they were taken over by the Central Java Police.

As well as the shooting case of a SMAK 4 Semarang student with the initials GRO by Aipda Robig which was carried out not transparently. This then made the public angry.

Therefore, the legislator for the electoral district of Central Java VI also asked Kompolnas and the Ombudsman to seriously investigate Yudi's statement which stated that there was harassment during the examination by investigators. In addition, Yudi's detention with his son was unclear and was not fed for three (3) days.

"Kompolnas and the Ombudsman must encourage the National Police Chief to clean up these police officers to their roots, so as not to continue to erode public trust in the police," Abdullah said.

Kapoksi Komisi III Fraksi PKB ini juga memberikan perhatian khusus terkait pernyataan Yudi yang mengatakan dirinya mengalami ketakutan usai dituduh sebagai pelaku kejahatan dan ditahan tanpa alasan. Dia pun meminta LPSK untuk segera memberikan perlindungan kepada Yudi beserta keluarganya.

"LPSK must immediately provide assistance and protection to Yudi and his wife and children to maintain their psychology and mentality. The team from Commission III will help in this regard," Abdullah concluded.
