JAKARTA - Deputy Chairman of the Indonesian National Human Rights Commission (Komnas HAM), Amiruddin, visited the home of activist Veronica Koman's parents regarding the recent terror incident at her home on U Street, Jelambar Baru Gropet, West Jakarta.

"The Indonesian National Human Rights Commission came to visit the residence of Veronica Koman's parents to ensure the condition of Veronica Koman's parents," explained the External Deputy Chairperson of the Indonesian Human Rights Commission, Amiruddin to VOI, Thursday, November 11.

"This step is a form of Komnas HAM RI's empathy towards Veronica Koman's family as well as efforts to collect initial information and facts of events," he said.

According to Amiruddin, Komnas HAM views that the attacks and terrors have caused trauma for Veronica Koman's parents. The reason is, Veronica's parents feel restless and scared after the terror occurred.

Amiruddin emphasized that the Indonesian National Human Rights Commission would continue to monitor the progress of the investigation into the case.

"Because acts of terror are crimes. Therefore, these actions should not be left alone," concluded the Deputy Chairman of the Indonesian National Human Rights Commission, Amiruddin.
