JAKARTA - Commissioner of the National Human Rights Commission (Komnas HAM) Beka Ulung Hapsara revealed that the work environment at the Central Indonesian Broadcasting Commission (KPI) is unsafe, intimidating, and there is no mutual respect for one another.

This then led to the harassment and bullying experienced by MS.

This statement was made by Beka when revealing the results of an investigation into allegations of bullying and sexual harassment within the Central KPI.

"The incidents of bullying and harassment against MS show that the work environment at KPI is unsafe, intimidating, and not respectful," Beka said in an online press conference, Monday, November 29.

Beka then revealed that the consequences of being harassed and bullied made MS often uncomfortable with his work environment. In fact, when he was in his office, he often went out of the room to relieve discomfort and always tried to avoid the perpetrators.

"MS often leaves the room to relieve feelings of discomfort, avoid perpetrators, and other potential bullying," he said.

In addition, MS also does not join the WhatsApp group in his internal office. The reason is that he often experiences verbal abuse from the perpetrators.

Based on this condition, the actions of the perpetrators were said by Komnas HAM to have violated the right to be free from threats, violence, and inappropriate treatment. Next, there has been a violation of the fulfillment of the right to security, especially to privacy and protection from the threat of fear as well as the right to work and have a fair and safe workplace.

Beka also said that the perpetrators of bullying and sexual harassment of MS had made her emotionally unstable. "MS was diagnosed with gastric fluid hypersecretion disease in 2017 and PTSD in 2019," he said.

For this action, the violation of the right to health also occurred and was experienced by MS. "Then physical and mental health problems also have an impact on MS and his wife's household relationship," concluded Beka.
