JAKARTA - Police observer Inspector General (ret) Sisno Adiwinoto spoke about the conclusion of the National Human Rights Commission (Komnas HAM) in the shooting of 6 special laskar of the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI).

According to him, Komnas HAM failed to focus and made the wrong assessment.

There are several points that can be used to support this argument. First, said Sisno Adiwinoto, about the FPI paramilitary action that chose to wait for the police, even though they had the opportunity to escape.

As a result, the intermittent action of vehicles and gunfights could not be avoided. If a shootout does not occur at the Cikampek KM 50 toll road, Sisno Adiwinoto assesses that all police officers on duty will be massacred.

Komnas HAM should take this situation into consideration, so that the recommendations made are not merely fulfilling orders or pleasing the joys.

Furthermore, Komnas HAM's point of view should be normative, in contrast to members of the police who are tactical in accordance with the law.

According to him, Komnas HAM's assessment has gone too far in the area of the absolute competence of the police's authority as an instrument of the state while carrying out their duties

"Komnas HAM should investigate the case of the incidents of the deaths of FPI troops based on Law 39/1999 and the qualifications for the results are only recommendations," said Sisno Adiwinoto, quoted by Antara, Sunday, January 10.

Next is the case construction which must be seen as a whole. Sisno Adiwinoto said that Komnas HAM only photographed the incidents of the killing of six laskar, even though the incident was a series of events that occurred in the main case, namely the violation of Rizieq Shihab's law.

Previously, Komnas HAM submitted a report on the results of the investigation of the FPI laskar's death on the Jakarta-Cikampek toll road and found the deaths of six FPI laskar in two contexts.

In the first context, two FPI laskar died because they were involved in the incident of shaking each other and shooting with the police.

Meanwhile, in the second context, four surviving FPI troops were taken by the police and allegedly shot in a car on their way to the Polda Metro Jaya Headquarters. For the actions of the four laskar, Komnas HAM considered human rights violations.
