President Joko Widodo is scheduled to directly lead the "Kick Off Implementation of the Recommendation of the PP HAM Team" in Aceh and he will announce various programs to restore the rights of victims of gross human rights violations provided by the government for victims or their heirs/derivatives.
Secretary of the Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs Lt. Gen. Teguh Pudjo Rumekso at the same press conference session said that the number of exports is likely to continue to grow.
"In Aceh myself, I have confidence that it will continue to grow after the implementation of the 'kickoff' because in some cases they have felt that they have only been recorded but there has been no realization. However, I am sure that through this 'kickoff' they will register themselves as victims," said Teguh Pudjo, who also serves as the Chief Executive of the PP HAM Team.
He explained that the search for the victims of gross human rights violations abroad went through a series of stages that were not short because there was a process of tracing, checking, and verifying involving several ministries/agencies, including the Ministry of Home Affairs, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Law and Human Rights, Komnas HAM, and LPSK.
"So it must be clear by name, by address, byNIK, we have just released it which is in accordance with the data," said Teguh.
In addition to the 2 excavators who came directly to Aceh, there were several who took part in a virtual series of events, including those who currently live in Sweden, the Czechs, the Netherlands, and France.
