JAKARTA - The National Human Rights Commission (Komnas HAM) encourages transparency in the investigation process of the violence against KontraS activist Andrie Yunus, including access to request information from suspects at the military investigation level.
Commissioner for Monitoring and Investigation of Komnas HAM Saurlin P Siagian said openness was crucial to ensure accountability for handling ongoing cases.
"We encourage there to be transparency in law enforcement," he said after asking for information from the TNI at the Komnas HAM office in Jakarta, Wednesday, April 1, as reported by ANTARA.
In addition, Komnas HAM also emphasized the importance of presenting the identity of the perpetrator to the public as part of the principle of openness.
"We hope that there will be an announcement soon regarding the identity of the perpetrator to the public," he said.
Saurlin said the investigation conducted by the TNI Military Police Center (Puspom) had made significant progress, with four suspects having been named and the investigation process claimed to have progressed by about 80 percent.
However, Komnas HAM considers that the process still needs to be externally supervised so that it is objective and comprehensive, including by opening up space for the involvement of independent supervisors.
Meanwhile, the Coordinator of the Human Rights Enforcement Sub-Commission of Komnas HAM, Pramono Ubaid Tanthowi, added that his party had received a signal of openness from military investigators to provide access to the examination.
"The TNI Puspom has opened itself up so that we can meet with the suspects," he said.
He explained that access was important to delve into various aspects, including the possibility of orders in the operational structure and the investigation process since the submission of evidence from the previous unit.
Komnas HAM also plans to ask for information from experts across fields to strengthen the construction of conclusions in the ongoing investigation.
This step is considered as part of efforts to ensure that the legal process is transparent, accountable, and able to fully reveal the violent events that have occurred.
