The panel of judges at the Denpasar District Court, Bali, granted the request for a suspension of the detention of Defendant I Nyoman Sukena (38), a resident of Bongkasa Pertiwi Village, Abiansemal District, Badung Regency, Bali, who maintains Javanese hedgehog (Hysterix Javanica).

At the trial of the defendant's examination at the Denpasar District Court, the panel of judges chaired by Ida Bagus Bamadewa Patiputra stated that based on the consideration of the panel of judges, it was decided to transfer the detention from 12 September to 21 September 2024 from prison detention to house arrest.

"Your detention has been transferred to house arrests on the condition that they are cooperative. The defendant is also required to report twice a week every Tuesday and Thursday," said Bamadewa, Thursday, September 12.

The thing that became the consideration of the panel of judges in granting the request was that the defendant Nyoman Sukena was the head of the family who was responsible for fulfilling the needs of his family's life.

The determination of the transfer of detention was warmly welcomed by the defendant Nyoman Sukena and the people of the Bongkasa Pertiwi Traditional Village who were also present to witness the trial.

The panel of judges said that there were several requests for a suspension or transfer of detention that he had received, either submitted by the defendant's legal advisory team or submitted in the form of a letter from the Bongkasa Pertiwi Village Government and members of Commission VI of the DPR on behalf of Rieke Diah Pitaloka.

However, the panel of judges emphasized that the authority to grant a suspension or transfer detention in the process in court lies with the panel of judges, not from other agencies.

The judge said the decision was not a fixed price, in the sense that the defendant did not meet the conditions stipulated as a house arrest, the decision could be withdrawn by the panel of judges.

Therefore, the panel of judges ordered the defendant to attend the trial process on time and cooperatively.

"This is not a fixed price because one day the panel of judges can revoke this (suspension of detention). I hope that you and I can do it," he said.
