JAKARTA - Coordinating Minister for Legal, Human Rights, Immigration, and Corrections, Yusril Ihza Mahendra, emphasized that the case of Andreas Yunus is currently entirely the jurisdiction of the military court. The reason is that until now no civilians have been found as suspects.

"Now, because no suspects from the civilian community have been found, the trial is entirely a Military Court," Yusril told reporters at the Presidential Palace Complex, Jakarta, Friday (10/4).

Yusril directly referred to the Military Justice Law which states that active members of the TNI who are tried in criminal cases remain in the military court. Yusril said, during the discussion of the TNI Law, it was stipulated that cases related to military duties were tried in military courts. Meanwhile, general criminal cases are brought to the general court.

The problem is, the scheme has never worked because the revision of the Military Justice Law has not been made. Yusril even said that since 2004 the derivative rules have never been completed.

As a result, the discourse on connectivity can only be used if there are both civilian and military suspects. As long as there is none, the public court door remains closed.
