Deputy Minister of Manpower (Wamenaker) Immanuel Ebenezer asked law enforcement officials to immediately reveal who the terrorists were who sent the pig's head and rat carcasses to Tempo Magazine.
"I condemn the perpetrators of terror against Tempo Magazine. I have never agreed to such barbaric methods," he said, in Jakarta, Sunday, March 23.
The man who is familiarly called Noel assesses that if the National Police fails to reveal who is the mastermind behind the terror, the public will be disappointed. However, if the Police manages to reveal, then the public will increasingly believe in the Police.
"I really hope that the Police can open the veil of the mystery of Tempo terror," he said.
Noel assessed that terror against Tempo was terror against democracy. He also said that the incident was very embarrassing for Indonesian democracy. Considering that the press is the fourth pillar of democracy.
"This incident really embarrasss Indonesia's democracy. So for the sake of respect for democracy and Article 28 of the 1945 Constitution (UUD), the perpetrator must be found and processed legally," said Noel.

Furthermore, Noel said the national press had struggled to participate in building democracy in Indonesia. If with such a long struggle but still being terrorized, it is outrageous.
"In all sequences of national democracy struggles, the press as the Fourth Pillar of Democracy, has always been a catalyst. So terror against Tempo Magazine is a barbaric act," he stressed.
As is known, Tempo received two terrors. First, on Wednesday afternoon March 19, a package was wrapped in cardboard boxes and coated with Styrofoam, addressed to Francisca Christy Rosana (Cica), a Tempo Political Desk journalist. The package contains a pig's head without ears.
