JAKARTA - The Witness and Victim Protection Agency (LPSK) refuses to provide protection to AG, the perpetrator of the child in the case of mistreatment of David Ozora. The AG camp compares with the handling of Bharada Richard Totaling alias Bharada E.

According to this treatment, it started when AG's lawyer, Mangata Toding Allo, who spoke up regarding LPSK's refusal to provide protection to his client.

He said that his party was not given a reason behind the rejection. Until finally, Mario Dandy's lover camp compared the handling of LPSK against Bharada E when he was hit by a criminal case.

"We were not given a reason for the refusal, if we say it is not a witness or victim, the defendant was accompanied by them in another case," Mangata told VOI, Tuesday, March 14.

Meanwhile, regarding LPSK's recommendation to the Ministry of Women's Empowerment and Child Protection (KemenPPPA) to assist AG, Mangata said it was not necessary. The reason is, it was done long before the recommendation was made

"If LPSK gives recommendations to the PPPA Ministry, we don't think it is necessary. Because KemenPPPA was already present and accompanied AG's children before," said Mangata.

Meanwhile, LPSK rejected the protection application submitted by AG as the child perpetrator in the case of David Ozora's persecution. The reason is because it does not meet the protection requirements.

"It does not meet the protection requirements stipulated in Article 28 (1) letter a and letter d," said LPSK Chairman Hasto Atmojo Suroyo.

Meanwhile, Article 28 (1) letter a contains the importance of the testimony of witnesses and/or victims. As for letter d regarding the track record of criminal acts committed by witnesses and/or victims.

In addition, another reason behind the decision to reject the request was because AG was not included in the LPSK protection subjects as regulated in Article 5 (3) of Law Number 31 of 2014.

"The legal status of the applicant as a child who is in conflict with the law, is not included in the subjects of LPSK protection," he said.

Then, LPSK will also recommend the Ministry of Women's Empowerment and Child Protection (KemenPPPA) with a copy of KPAI to assist AG and ensure the fulfillment of its rights.
