JAKARTA - Commissioner of the Human Rights Commission (Komnas HAM) Beka Ulung Hapsara asked all parties not to expose MS, a Central KPI employee who is suspected of being a victim of sexual harassment and bullying or bullying his own co-workers.

This is done to maintain the mental condition of MS, which is still in a state of trauma.

"It is important not to openly expose MS because it also concerns the condition of MS, which is still traumatized and of course trauma can reappear," Beka told reporters at the Komnas HAM Office, Jalan Latuharhary, Central Jakarta, Tuesday, September 7 .

He also hopes that all parties uphold the right to personal safety and security. "This includes other privacy matters," said Beka.

Komnas HAM also supports MS's statement asking the public not to bully or bully the perpetrators and their families.

"This is just unexpected, I think we also have to respect the ongoing legal process so that when everything becomes clear, it will be clear who the perpetrators are and what their actions are like," said Beka.

As previously reported, MS said he was a victim of sexual harassment and bullying by seven of his more senior colleagues. One of the sexual harassments she experienced was in 2015, when the perpetrators held her head, hands, feet, stripped her naked, and strangled her.

"(They, ed) harassed me by scribbling on my testicles using markers," said MS in a chain message he sent because he felt it was his last resort.

"This incident traumatized me and I lost my emotional stability. How can this kind of evil harassment happen at the Central KPI? What kind of syndicate is the perpetrator? They even documented my gender and made me powerless against them after the tragedy," he added.
