Previously reported, Komnas HAM had presented their findings regarding the shooting incident on the Jakarta-Cikampek Toll Road that involved FPI members and the police that took place in December 2020. They found that there were two different contexts of events in the one shooting incident.

The context of the first incident occurred on Jalan International Karawang until it was thought to have reached KM 48 Cikampek Toll.

Based on these findings, the deaths of four people were called Komnas HAM as a form of unlawful killing.
