JAKARTA - The head of the Pancasila Youth Legal Counsel and Defense Agency (BPPH) Razman Arif Nasution said dozens of lawyers would provide legal assistance to 16 PP members who were suspects. This assistance is carried out so that the legal process runs according to the applicable regulations.

"There are 37 attorneys who signed," Razman told reporters, Monday, November 29.

Razman said that actually there are still many lawyers who want to be involved to provide assistance. But it was decided just not all could join.

The reason is, so as not to impress this problem as a stage for certain parties.

"We don't want it to be seen as an exaggeration. So we don't want the impression that people who defend this are too much, we want to work professionally and simply," said Razman.

In addition, not all lawyers can join for reasons of efficiency. In this way, the communication between the team of lawyers is good.

"The concept of our state is poor in structure, rich in functions, so there is no need for too many (lawyers) and fat," said Razman.

For information, the Pancasila Youth Organization on Thursday, November 25 held a demonstration regarding member of Commission II DPR Junimart Girsang. They urged Junimart to apologize for the statements about mass organizations that were often involved in clashes.

The demo was chaotic. Police officers were persecuted. Meanwhile, the police arrested 21 members of the PP mass organization.

From the results of the examination, 15 people were named suspects. They became suspects because they were found to be carrying sharp weapons.

In addition, the police also found two bullets. Thus, development was carried out. Police will investigate the owner and the origin of the two bullets.

The police also named one suspect related to mistreatment of the police during a demonstration in front of the DPR/MPR building.
