Komnas HAM Opens The Door If Suspected Perpetrators Of Harassment To KPI Employees Want To Complain, But...

JAKARTA - Commissioner of the Human Rights Commission (Komnas HAM) Beka Ulung Hapsara emphasized that his party would receive reports from anyone including suspected perpetrators of harassment and bullying or bullying of employees of the Central Indonesian Broadcasting Commission (KPI), MS.

"In principle, Komnas HAM is open to all complaints," Beka told reporters at the Komnas HAM Office, Jl. Latuharhary, Menteng, Central Jakarta, Tuesday, September 7.

He emphasized that his party must not reject reports from anywhere, including those suspected of harassment and bullying. However, Beka said that Komnas HAM would analyze it further before deciding what further steps to take.

"(The report, ed) is received and processed in accordance with the SOP or standards in Komnas HAM," he said.

Furthermore, Beka also emphasized that his party was committed to resolving this case. In fact, Komnas HAM will summon related parties such as KPI and the police for further questioning.

"Hopefully it won't take too long. We have a plenary session today and we also discussed how to handle the case involving MS brother," he said.

As previously reported, MS said he was a victim of sexual harassment and bullying by seven of his more senior colleagues.

One of the sexual harassments she experienced was in 2015, when the perpetrators held her head, hands, feet, stripped her naked, and strangled her.

"(They, ed) harassed me by scribbling on my testicles using markers," said MS in a chain message he sent because he felt it was his last resort.

"This incident traumatized me and I lost my emotional stability. How can this kind of evil harassment happen at the Central KPI? What kind of syndicate is the perpetrator? They even documented my gender and made me powerless against them after the tragedy," he added.
