JAKARTA - Chairman of the National Human Rights Commission (Komnas HAM) Atnike Nova Sigiro said that his party respects the death sentence handed down to the former Head of the Propam Police Division, Ferdy Sambo, by the Panel of Judges at the South Jakarta District Court (PN). "In response to the verdict of the trial of the murder case of Brigadier Nofriansyah Yosua Hutabarat against the defendant Ferdy Sambo who was sentenced to death at the South Jakarta District Court, Komnas HAM respects the process and legal decisions that have been taken by the judge, and views that no one is above the law," AtINKe said in his statement, Monday, February 13. According to Atnike, Sambo's actions as the mastermind behind the murder of Yosua alias Brigadier J are serious crimes. In addition to being proven to have carried out a murder plan, Ferdy Sambo has carried out an obstruction of justice. Especially by using his authority as a law enforcement officer. "Komnas HAM also feels the sorrow and loss felt by the family of the victim of the late Nofriansyah Yosua Hutabarat," he said. AtINKe membenarkan bahwa hak hidup seseorang merupakan hak yang tidak dapat dikurankan dalam keadaan apapun (non-derogable rights). Namun, ia juga mengakui hukum Indonesia masih menerapkan pidana hukuman mati. Therefore, Komnas HAM hopes that the death penalty can be abolished in court law decisions in other cases in the future. "Komnas HAM noted that in the new Criminal Code (KUHP), the death penalty is no longer the main punishment, and hopes that the application of the death penalty in the future can be abolished," said Atnike. Ferdy Sambo was sentenced to death in the premeditated murder case of Brigadier J today, Monday, February 13. The former Head of the Propam Division was found guilty. "The defendant Ferdy Sambo has been legally and convincingly proven guilty of committing a criminal act, participating in premeditated murder... together," said Chief Judge Wahyu Iman Santosa during a trial reading Ferdy Sambo's decision at the South Jakarta District Court, Monday, February 13.
