JAKARTA - The Head of the TNI Information Center, Major General TNI Aulia Dwi Nasrullah, said the figure of the four suspects in the water cannon attack on Andrie Yunus would be seen during the reading of the indictment hearing which will be held in the near future.
Aulia's statement was made in response to questions from the media regarding the reason why the faces of the four suspects had never been shown to the public until the case file was transferred to the court.
"I think later it will be seen in the trial, it will also be presented. This will be done, once again, it will be open and we are professionals," said the Head of the National Police, as reported by ANTARA, Thursday, April 16.
According to him, the suspects in the case remain four people, despite the findings of Andrie Yunus' party which stated that the alleged perpetrators reached 16 people. The determination of the suspects was said to be in accordance with the results of the investigation.
"It's still four people, as I explained earlier at yesterday's press conference at the prison, and when I released it," he said.
When asked whether there was or not a further investigation regarding the perpetrators other than the four people who will be tried, Aulia considered that it would be answered in the trial later.
"Later we can see. The trial will be professional. We will also be open to communicate," he said.
Aulia also said the real motive behind the water spraying against the activist of the Commission for Missing Persons and Victims of Violence (KontraS) would also be answered at the trial.
"I think that when the motive is explained, it is personal and we will see it later in court. It will be open. Everyone can see it later. It will be there, in court," said Aulia.
Andrie Yunus, who is the Deputy Coordinator of KontraS, was sprayed with water in the Salemba area, Central Jakarta, on Thursday (12/3) evening.
The incident occurred after Andrie completed recording a radio broadcast at the Indonesian Legal Aid Institute Foundation Office which discussed the topic of militarism and the test of the TNI Law.
In its development, the Military Police named four members of the TNI Strategic Intelligence Agency (BAIS) as suspects, namely Captain NDP, Lieutenant One SL, Lieutenant One BHW, and Sergeant Two ES.
The case file was forwarded to the Jakarta Military Court II-08 on Thursday.
Head of the Jakarta Military Court II-08, Colonel Chk Fredy Ferdian Isnartanto said the first trial with the agenda of reading the indictment was scheduled to take place on Wednesday, April 29, 2026.
Fredy said the defendants would be present in person in the courtroom. Their presence is mandatory as part of the process of reading the indictment by the military prosecutor.
The Jakarta Military Court II-08 also ensured that the trial was open to the public. The public, including the press, are welcome to follow the trial to ensure the transparency of the legal process.
"The trial is open to the public, just like in the district court. Please let the public and the media come to monitor the trial," said Fredy at the Jakarta Military Court II-08, Thursday.
