JAKARTA - Head of the Attorney General's Office for Legal Information (Kapuspenkum) Ketut Sumedana said the Attorney General's appeal regarding the use of clothing with certain religious attributes was only an internal order for the prosecutor's office.
"Until now, the Attorney General's Office has not issued a specific policy regarding this matter," said Ketut, quoted by Antara, Friday, May 20.
The Attorney General made this appeal on several occasions. With an internal appeal at the prosecutor's office so that detainees and prosecutors who are undergoing trial do not misinterpret the polite attire by using religious attributes.
Ketut explained that the public prosecutor has an obligation to present the defendant in court as regulated in the criminal procedure law.
"In the trial procedure in every district court, it is also regulated the use of polite clothing in front of the trial," he said.
It is widely reported that the Attorney General forbade the prosecutor to bring the defendant to the trial wearing religious attributes that he had not previously worn.
Like the Pinangki Prosecutor Sirna Malasari, who before becoming a patient did not use the hijab, then during the trial she wore a Muslim dress to cover her aurat.
The Attorney General's appeal is not to give the impression that only certain religions have committed crimes, and appear to be "pious" during the trial.
With this explanation, the AGO hopes that it will no longer become a polemic regarding the use of the defendant's clothing at trial.
