JAKARTA - States must be serious about uncovering the case experienced by the Deputy Coordinator of the Commission for Missing Persons and Victims of Violence (KontraS), Andrie Yunus. Because if not, then the state becomes part of the crime itself.
This was conveyed by the expert in state governance law, Feri Amsari, at the LBH Jakarta Foundation, Friday, March 14.
Feri said he knew Andri Yunus very well as a good and friendly person. However, this will change if he sees the state treating things badly to its citizens.
He emphasized that all related officials, from the president, the National Police Chief, to the Attorney General's Office, must act seriously and professionally in uncovering the perpetrators behind the Andrie Yunus case.
"If the state fails to reveal who the perpetrators of this crime and this heinous act are, for us the state is part of the crime. And for me, the point is over, that the state must be prepared to face the resistance of the entire people," he said.
Previously, Andri Yunus was reported to have been sprayed by an unknown person on Thursday, March 12 at night in the Salemba area, Central Jakarta. Based on CCTV monitoring, two perpetrators riding a motorcycle allegedly Honda Beat output 2016 to 2021 approached the victim from the opposite direction on Jalan Talang or Talang Bridge.
The motorcyclist was dressed in a white T-shirt and black pants and wearing a black helmet. Meanwhile, the passenger's face was partially covered and wore a dark blue T-shirt and dark blue jeans. When Andri Yunus approached with a black motorcycle with a yellow lis, the passenger was immediately sprayed and hit the victim's face and eyes.
Andri Yunus has just completed a podcast titled Remiliterisme dan Judicial Review in Indonesia. He is part of a coalition of civil society that conducts independent investigations into various political and security events, including the polemics that occurred in August 2025.
Andri is an activist who broke into the closed meeting of DPR members when passing the TNI Law at a hotel in Jakarta. He entered while holding up a document in the form of a Microsoft Word file with the title of the DPR RI with the title 'Schedule of Events for the Panja Meeting of the Bill on Amendments to Law No. 34 of 2004 concerning the TNI Commission I of the DPR RI with the Government from 14 to 16 March 2025'.
Prior to this incident, the fact-finding commission team, which is a combination of the Commission for Missing Persons and Victims of Violence (KontraS), the Indonesian Legal Aid Foundation (YLBHI), found a number of irregularities related to the demonstration action that occurred in August 2025. It is suspected that the police and military have committed violations of law and human rights.
