JAKARTA - Head of the National Counterterrorism Agency (BNPT) Komjen Pol. Eddy Hartono said all terrorism convicts (napiters), including from the Jamaah Islamiyah (JI) network, who wish to apply for parole, must meet several criteria.
The criteria, he said, have been regulated in the Regulation of the Minister of Law and Human Rights Number 7 of 2022 concerning Terms and Procedures for Providing Remissions, Assimilation, Leave for Visiting Families, Conditional Release, Leave Ahead of Freeness, and Conditional Leave.
"This criterion must be fulfilled and those who think that there will be many later, such as law enforcement officers, the Special Detachment (Densus) 88 Anti-terror Police, BNPT, and correctional officers," said Komjen Pol. Eddy when contacted in Jakarta, Thursday, January 23, was confiscated by Antara.
Komjen Eddy mentioned a number of these criteria, among others, have at least served a sentence of two-thirds of the sentence with the provision that the two-thirds of the sentence is a minimum of 9 months, has good behavior, and has made a pledge back to the Republic of Indonesia.
If the convict who applied for parole did not meet the criteria, he said parole would not be granted.
Currently, BNPT continues to coordinate with the Ministry of Immigration and Corrections (Imipas) and the National Police's Anti-terror Detachment 88 regarding the plan to provide parole to prisoners, including JI members.
In addition to convicts, Komjen Eddy revealed that the provision of parole was also given to corruption convicts and drug convicts with more or less the same criteria and had been regulated.
He explained that the provision of parole to prisoners aims to protect the human rights (HAM) of prisoners, and is one of the stages of the BNPT deradicalization program, namely social reintegration.
The deradicalization program, he continued, was given in several stages that must be carried out by prisoners, namely identification of assessments, rehabilitation, reeducation, and social reintegration.
However, if the convict has been given a conditional release, his party will continue to provide guidance and assistance such as providing national insight and entrepreneurial insight.
"This is also in line with the third President's Astacita, namely strengthening quality employment and encouraging entrepreneurship," he said.
