The arrest of a person must be with the correct SOP, such as giving an official arrest letter to witnesses. the Chair of the RT, or family and respecting human rights inherent in everyone." Without an official letter from the police given to the family or witnesses of the head of the environment, there is no difference with kidnapping," said Bambang.
