JAKARTA - The Executive Director of the Legal Mafia Eradication Committee (KPMH) Muannas Alaidid assessed that the prosecutor should have demanded the release of two police officers who were accused of the unlawful killing of FPI troops. The six-year prosecution against the two defendants shows the prosecutor's hesitation.

"Decent charges against 2 officers ad. FREE, not PRISON, 6th year shows that the prosecutor has doubts about whether or not Yusmin & Fikri were wrong (Names of two officers, ed) because if it was true that the officers intended to kill they should have been charged more than that," Muannad said via tweet. on his Twitter, @muannas_alaidid quoted Wednesday, 22 February.

Muannas explained that the prosecution questioned was the incident in the car while carrying four special FPI troops. On the one hand, the prosecutor admitted that two officers in the car were ganged up by and seized their weapons.

"Unfortunately, the prosecutor made a wrong conclusion without evidence that 4 laskars were actually shot. Pdhl it is clear that the legal fact is that the officers tried to stop the attacks that occurred immediately in self-defense so that they were shot, not shot by the officers,"

"They deserve an AWARD, so if the prosecutor is half-hearted in demanding that 6 years, it's better to just be released, why force it, like the adage 'it's better to release a thousand guilty people than to punish one innocent person'," said Muannas.

Prosecutors demanded that the panel of judges at the South Jakarta District Court (PN) sentence two police officers who were accused of an unlawful killing to 6 years in prison.

The charges against the two defendants, namely Police Brigadier One (Briptu) Fikri Ramadhan and Police Inspector Two (Ipda) Mohammad Yusmin Ohorella, were read out separately by prosecutors at the South Jakarta District Court, Jakarta, Tuesday, February 22.

According to Prosecutor Fadjar, who read out the demands virtually as broadcast in the courtroom, Brigadier Fikri was legally and convincingly proven to have violated Article 338 of the Criminal Code in conjunction with Article 55 paragraph (1) 1 of Law Number 1 of 1946 concerning the Criminal Law Regulations.

In a different indictment, prosecutor Paris Manalu also believes that Ipda Yusmin violated the provisions of the same article as Brigadier Fikri.

Therefore, the two prosecutors asked the panel of judges to sentence Brigadier General Fikri and Ipda Yusmin to 6 years in prison and asked them to be arrested immediately.

In two different indictments, the prosecutor also asked the panel of judges to order First Brigadier Fikri and Ipda Yusmin to pay court fees of Rp. 5,000.00 each.

Regarding the evidence, the prosecutor asked the panel of judges to order some of the evidence to be returned to the Polda Metro Jaya, some to be destroyed, and others to be included in the case file.

The prosecutor, in his indictment, also read out aggravating and mitigating factors for the two defendants.

Prosecutor Fadjar considered that the thing that weighed on Brigadier Fikri was not paying attention to the principle of legality, the principle of nesesity, and the principle of proportionality, especially in using firearms when escorting the victims, namely four FPI members, from Rest Area KM 50 Toll Cikampek to Polda Metro Jaya.

Meanwhile, there are mitigating factors for Brigadier Fikri, including having served as a police officer for 12 years. During his tenure, First Brigadier Fikri never committed a disgraceful act.

Matters that are aggravating and mitigating for Brigadier Fikri in substance also apply to Ipda Yusmin.

After reading the charges, Chief Judge Muhammad Arif Nuryanta also asked the opinion of the two defendants.

Brigadier Fikri and Ipda Yusmin, who attended the trial virtually from the legal counsel's office, also handed over the decision to their lawyers.

The Coordinator of the Legal Advisory Team, Henry Yosodiningrat, said that his client would file a defense or plea at the next trial.

Fikri and Yusmin undergo trial in the case of arbitrary murder that killed four FPI members while they were on their way to Polda Metro Jaya on December 7, 2020.

Four FPI members who were victims of the shooting in the police car, namely Muhammad Reza (20), Ahmad Sofyan alias Ambon (26 years), Faiz Ahmad Syukur (22), and Muhammad Suci Khadavi (21).

Two other FPI members, Luthfi Hakim (25) and Andi Oktiawan (33) were also killed. However, the victim died at a different location, namely during a shootout between the FPI Laskar and the police on Jalan Simpang Susun West Karawang.
