JAKARTA - Surya Alirman, an advocate for LQ, plans to report to Komnas Ham and the Judicial Commission (KY) regarding the detention of Alvin Lim, who he considers to have violated human rights. Because according to Surya, Alvin Lim was picked up from the Criminal Investigation Unit accompanied by a letter that was legally flawed.

"It is not justified by law enforcement officers, enforcing the law by breaking the law. This is clearly a criminalization and the detention letter issued by the Supreme Court is evidence of misappropriation and human rights violations against Alvin Lim." Surya Alirman said in his statement, Thursday, November 24.

Alvin Lim's son, Kate Victoria Lim also expressed her defense against her father. Kate admitted that she was surprised that her family did not receive a copy of Alvin Lim's detention. This is why she and her advocates will forward it to Komnas HAM and KY.

"It has become a fact, the Prosecutor's Office forcibly picked up my father at the Criminal Investigation Unit to be detained on October 18, 2022. According to the law, every detention must have a letter of detention showing which institution is detaining, the date starting to be detained and the time limit for detention. It must be issued an official letter that the copy is given to the family. However, since being detained, the family and lawyer have never received a detention letter until yesterday." Kate said.

Kate said that her party had just received a detention letter on November 22, 2022, and that she considered legally flawed. Kate feels that there are irregularities in the detention and material of her father, Alvin Lim.

"We received a new detention letter yesterday, November 22, 2022, where this letter clearly shows the criminalization process and the legal defects of my father's detention."

He again explained that the letter of determination of detention and a new delivery letter was made on October 28, 2022, for detention from October 21 to December 9, 2022 and detention on December 10, 2022.

"Shouldn't there be a detention letter before someone could be detained? Meanwhile, my father was detained on October 18, his letter was just made on October 28, 2022. Showing that before October 28, there should be no legal standing for my father's detention. This is in addition to the violation of the Formil / Criminal Procedure Code which is also a violation of human rights. My father is a human, not an animal that can be detained without a clear official letter. Terrorists even when detained there must be a letter of detention while my father was detained without a letter. Also since October 18 to October 20, who was detained on whose orders? Because the High Court did not issue a letter of detention. This is where our allegation, the prosecutor's office has violated the rules of criminal procedural law when detaining. "explained Kate.
