Former Kabareskrim Calls Komnas HAM's Task Only To Monitor Affan Kurniawan's Case For Serious Or Light Human Rights Violations

JAKARTA - Former Head of Criminal Investigation Unit, Susno Duadji, said that Komnas HAM's main task was to monitor the investigation carried out internally by the National Police regarding seven members of the Mobile Brigade of the Metro Jaya Police who ran over online motorcycle taxi drivers (ojol), Affan Kurniawan, to death.

"If Komnas HAM does not interfere with the investigation process, because it is related to the professional code of ethics, the realm of ethics of the National Police. But because this is an incident in the field, Komnas HAM only observes the extent of violation, whether it is in light human rights or heavy human rights," said Susno Duadji, quoted from Kompas TV Live, Friday, August 29.

The presence of Komnas HAM in the examination of seven Brimob members was part of the commitment of the National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit who wanted to involve external parties in the investigation into Affan Kurniawan's death.

According to Susno, the commitment of the National Police Chief Sigit is part of the transparency of the case. It is possible that the external parties invited are Kompolnas, Commission III of the DPR or academics.

According to Susno, to get to the code of ethics trial, the seven Brimob members can proceed quickly. But for criminal matters, it depends on investigations and investigations to case filing.

"The code of ethics trial is fast, it's been in for about 2 weeks because it's internal. If the crime depends on the investigation, the filing," said Susno.

Komnas HAM RI previously asked for information from seven suspected perpetrators of the Brimob tactical vehicle case who ran over an online motorcycle taxi driver (ojol) to death when they dispersed the mass demonstration in Central Jakarta, Thursday (28/8) night.

"Today afternoon we will also ask for information from seven perpetrators who have also been examined by Propam (Division of Profession and Security of the Police)," said Komnas HAM Chairman Anis Hidayah during a press conference at his office, Jakarta, Friday.

Komnas HAM took serious attention and expressed deep condolences for the death of an ojol driver named Affan Kurniawan in the incident and other injured victims.

"Threatening the actions of individual Indonesian National Police officers who have committed brutal acts resulting in the loss of life," he said.
