JAKARTA - Chairman of the Indonesian Legal Aid Foundation (YLBHI) Asfinawati spoke about the report made by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) against Greenpeace Indonesia to the police.
The report was made after the non-governmental organization (NGO) shot a laser at the KPK's Red and White Building with various inscriptions including 'Dare to be Honest to Fire'.
According to Asfinawati, this report shows an oddity because previously the anti-corruption commission appreciated the actions taken by Greenpeace Indonesia.
"There are some oddities. First, the statement is appreciative, but why are they reporting it," said Asfinawati to reporters, Tuesday, July 20.
Sometime after the laser shooting on Monday night, June 28, the KPK appreciated the actions taken by Greenpeace Indonesia. According to the anti-corruption commission, the community does have a part in eradicating corruption.
Back to Asfinawati, another oddity is that many actions are more disturbing than Greenpeace's actions. One of them is the existence of a paid mob who often burns tires and interferes with the action moved to support the KPK independently.
"So far, there have been actions that have proven to be paid for by members, those who oppose the anti-corruption community coalition, those who burn tires, disrupt actions to support an independent KPK, and nothing has been done", she said
Thus, Asfinawati assessed that Firli did not want an independent KPK, like the narrative of the laser shots carried out by Greenpeace Indonesia.
"So it was discovered that Firli really didn't want an independent KPK. Because that's the laser shot narrative", she said.
As previously reported, the laser-shooting of various critical writings by Greenpeace Indonesia at the Red and White House of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) led to a report to the police. This report was carried out by the general bureau of the anti-corruption commission to the South Jakarta Police.
"KPK through the general bureau has coordinated and reported to the South Jakarta Police", KPK Spokesperson for Enforcement, Ali Fikri, told reporters quoted on Tuesday, July 20.

The laser shooting was reported on suspicion of holding demonstrations outside the permitted hours, which was around 19.05 WIB. In addition, this action has the potential to disrupt the order and convenience of the KPK's office operations as a vital national object.
"We consider that there is a potential for intentional disturbance of order and convenience in the operation of the KPK office as a vital national object carried out by the intended external party", said Ali.
Furthermore, he said that when the laser shooting took place, the KPK and its security forces had banned Greenpeace. However, these non-governmental organizations (NGOs) actually ignored the prohibition that was conveyed.
For this reason, the KPK decided to report the incident and hand it over to the police.
"Considering that the activities are carried out outside the specified time and without permission from the competent authorities. However, these parties continue to do so by moving locations", he said.
