Later to KPI, Komnas HAM will ask about the chronology of harassment and bullying incidents so that an internal investigation process will be carried out.

"From KPI, of course, it's a matter of the KPI version of the chronology of events, the response that KPI has implemented, and what future steps will be," said Beka.

Komnas HAM will determine whether it is true that MS victims have tried to report the harassment they experienced to the Gambir Police in 2019 and 2020, but they have not been followed up.

"Whether the alleged victim reporting to the police is true or not, what is the process that has been carried out so far," he said.
