JAKARTA - The Military Audit demanded four TNI personnel who were defendants in the alleged case of abuse against KontraS Deputy Coordinator Andrie Yunus with prison sentences of 2.5 years each.
The four defendants, namely Sergeant Two Edi Sudarko, Lieutenant One (Lettu) Budhi Hariyanto Widhi, Captain Nandala Dwi Prasetya and Lettu Sami Lakka.
"We ask that the Jakarta Military Court II-08 declare the defendants guilty of committing a criminal act, namely any person who participates in the persecution with a prior plan that resulted in serious injuries," said Military Prosecutor Lieutenant Colonel TNI Corps Hukum (Chk) Muhammad Iswadi in a reading session. letter of demand at the Jakarta Military Court II-08, Wednesday, June 3, reported by ANTARRA.
Thus, the four defendants are believed to have violated the crime stipulated in Article 467 paragraph (1) jo. Article 20 letter C of the National Criminal Code (KUHP).
The Military Audit assessed that the actions of the four defendants were delicts that were qualified because of the existence of a plan, thereby increasing the degree of imprisonment.
This is because the defendants are suspected of committing criminal acts due to revenge, anger, or negative sentiments against Andrie, who is considered to have harassed and degraded the dignity of the TNI institution, through the action of interrupting the TNI Law revision meeting on March 16, 2025 and through various anti-militarism narratives that he built.
Therefore, the actions of the four TNI personnel are believed to be a bentukextra legal revenge or extrajudicial revenge that resulted in physical suffering for the victim and reputational losses that are very difficult to recover for the TNI institution in the eyes of the national and international community.
Before filing a lawsuit, the Military Audit considered several aggravating and mitigating circumstances. The aggravating circumstances are that the defendants' actions are contrary to the Sapta Marga, the Soldier's Oath, and the 8 TNI Obligations.
In addition, the actions of the defendants have also damaged the good name of the TNI and caused serious injuries to the victim.
"Meanwhile, the mitigating factors that are considered are that the defendants have never been convicted before, are honest and straightforward in the trial, and regret their actions and promise not to repeat them again," said the Military Prosecutor.
In this case, the four TNI personnel were charged with pouring hard water on Andrie with the aim of giving lessons and "deterrent effect" so as not to slander the TNI institution.
Meanwhile, Andrie's attitude, which the defendants considered to have harassed the TNI institution, occurred on March 16, 2025 when the activist of the Commission for Missing Persons and Victims of Violence (KontraS) forced him to enter and interrupt the meeting to revise the TNI Law in Jakarta.
Another attitude that made the defendants angry was when Andrie sued the TNI Law to the Constitutional Court (MK), accusing the TNI of intimidating or committing terror at the KontraS office, and being the mastermind or actor of the riots in late August 2025 and actively launching anti-militarism narratives.
Thus, the actions of the TNI personnel, who had planned to carry out watering using hard water against Andrie, resulting in severe burns, were actions that TNI members were not fit to do.
For their actions, the four defendants are threatened with criminal penalties as stipulated in Article 469 paragraph (1) or Article 468 paragraph (1) or Article 467 paragraph (1) jo. paragraph (2) jo. Article 20 letter C of the National Criminal Code (KUHP).
