JAKARTA - Deputy Chairperson of the Witness and Victim Protection Agency (LPSK) Edwin Partogi Pasaribu asked the Criminal Investigation Unit of the Police to separate Muhammad Kace's prison cell from other detainees. This is for the safety of Kace who is a victim of persecution at the Criminal Investigation Unit of the Police.

"We know M Kace is a suspect in blasphemy. But on the one hand, in the case of persecution, he (Kace) is a victim. By being separated from other detainees, his safety can be better maintained," Edwin told reporters, Thursday, September 23.

Edwin said that the separation of M Kace's cell from other detainees was necessary to prevent repeated acts of abuse against the victim.

Security guarantees for all prisoners are the responsibility of the Rutan management, including M Kace. With the guarantee of safety, according to Edwin, M Kace can follow the legal process in cases of blasphemy.

"Kace must be held accountable for his actions through the trial process," he said.

However, Edwin assessed that the steps taken by the Criminal Investigation Unit of the National Police to quickly isolate Inspector General Napoleon Bonaparte, who was suspected of persecuting M Kace, were correct. However, other potential threats to M Kace must also be viewed more comprehensively.

Moreover, if you look at the criminal acts that ensnared M Kace in the case of blasphemy. The management of the detention center, continued Edwin, is expected to see potential threats to M Kace's safety.

"The possibility that there are parties who still do not accept M Kace's actions for committing blasphemy is very open. This must be a concern for the management of the detention center," he said.

As is known, the suspect in the alleged blasphemy case, M Kace alias Muhamad Kosman, was persecuted at the Criminal Investigation Unit of the Police.

The alleged perpetrator is a fellow detainee of Inspector General Napoleon Bonaparte, who is a suspect in the alleged bribery case related to the abolition of the red notice of the wanted collection rights (cessie) of Bank Bali, Djoko Tjandra.
