JAKARTA - The Witness and Victim Protection Agency (LPSK) has ensured the safety of the General Chairperson of the Indonesian Youth National Committee (KNPI) Haris Pertama who became a victim in the beating case. Protection will be given until the trial process of the case.

The guarantee of protection was conveyed by Deputy Chairperson of LPSK Edwin Partogi Pasaribu after meeting with the Metro Jaya Police Chief Inspector General Fadil Imran and the Director of General Criminal Investigation, Kombes Tubagus Hidayat.

"We have provided assistance," said Edwin to reporters, Friday, March 4.

In addition, the provision of protection was based on the request of Haris Pertama. Because he was worried about the safety of his family.

"He asked for physical protection because what he was worried about was his wife and children," said Edwin.

In fact, this assistance and protection for Haris has been carried out for a long time. At that time, Haris was a witness at the trial of the alleged hate speech case with the defendant Ferdinand Hutahaean.

"We are proactive in providing protection when Haris is a witness at the trial. We carry out security monitoring at Haris' residence at all times," said Edwin.

On the other hand, Edwin also said that there had been no significant developments related to the investigation process. In which, 6 people have been named as suspects, one of which is Azis Samual.

"So, related to the motive, it cannot be investigated because Azis Samual has not admitted his actions related to the beating or mistreatment of Haris Pertama," Edwin.

Meanwhile, Haris Pertama was beaten when he was about to eat at the Garuda restaurant, Cikini, Central Jakarta. As a result of the beating, Haris suffered a wound on his forehead.

In handling this case, the police have arrested six suspects. They had the initials MS, JT, SS, and Irfan. However, another one is still a fugitive named Harvey.

Most recently, the police named Golkar politician Azis Sanual as a suspect. He was named as the other suspect's order giver.
