JAKARTA - The Ministry of Human Rights (Kemenham) emphasized that the police's initial conclusion regarding the death of a young diplomat from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Arya Daru Pangayunan, should not have closed the possibility of other causes.

"The conclusion that Arya Daru's death without involving other parties should not be a final and close other allegations of the cause of death," said Director of Human Rights of the Ministry of Human Rights' Agencies, Henny Tri Rama Yanti, in a general hearing of Commission XIII DPR RI in Jakarta, Tuesday, which was confiscated by Antara.

He emphasized the importance of the due process of law principle in every legal process.

"Every individual has the right to justice through a free, honest and fair trial in accordance with the constitution and the Human Rights Law," he said.

Henny also emphasized that the protection of victims' families is a right guaranteed by law.

He said witnesses and victims were entitled to protection for personal security, family, and property from threats.

According to him, law enforcement officers are required to provide information on the progress of the investigation to the family.

"The SP2HP notification should be conveyed, either requested or not, so that there is accountability and transparency," he said.

The Notification of Investigation Results (SP2HP) is an official document that must be given by investigators to the reporter or victim. This document contains information on the progress of case handling to ensure transparency and legal certainty.

Henny then said that the Ministry of Human Rights respects the authority of law enforcement officers, but still supports the family in demanding the truth.

"We cannot intervene, but we support the family's efforts to seek justice," he said.

Previously, the family through their attorneys said that until now they had not received a response from the police regarding the development of the Arya Daru death case, including a notification letter on the progress of the SP2HP results.

Commission XIII of the House of Representatives stated that it would follow up on input from the Ministry of Human Rights and other institutions that were present, including LPSK and Komnas Perempuan.

The meeting was also attended by the wife of the late Meta Ayu Puspitantri, the family attorney, and the victim's parents who urged the complete disclosure of the case.
