ACEH - Dozens of students who are members of the Child Care Community Movement (GEMPA) staged a demonstration at the West Aceh Police.

The mob demanded that the police settle a case of alleged rape of a minor in this area.

"This demonstration is carried out to question the extent of handling cases of rape against minors, including the arrest of perpetrators," said the coordinator of the Alfaraby action in Meulaboh, as quoted by Antara, Wednesday, November 17.

The students also questioned the extent to which the police in West Aceh took action against policewomen who were suspected of stomping the table on rape victims, causing the victims to be frightened.

In this action, said Alfaraby, they also questioned the actions of police officers who allegedly asked for transportation money from the victim's father, when reporting the case at the Arongan Lambalek Police Headquarters, West Aceh.

"We ask that the investigation of the case can produce results immediately," he said.

The Deputy Head of the West Aceh Police, Kompol Asa Putra, who also accepted the aspirations of the students, said that his party has now followed up on all the aspirations that have been conveyed by the students.

"We have followed up on all the demands of the younger students in accordance with applicable regulations," said Commissioner of Police Asa Putra.

He asked students to be patient, because the police will still resolve the case in accordance with applicable regulations.
