JAKARTA - Member of Commission III of the DPR Nasir Djamir assessed that Novel Baswedan's reaction regarding the verdict of the perpetrators of the hard water sprinklers was a fair play. Because, it is freedom of expression.

However, said Nasir, the most important thing in this case is that the legal process for the incident that happened to the senior KPK investigator has been upheld.

"Yes, if for example (it is considered a play) it is up to Novel to label the court as a play or something. The important thing is that the (legal) process is already underway," Nasir said in Jakarta, Thursday, July 17.

He suggested, if Novel was not satisfied with the verdict, he should take legal action again. Namely an appeal to the court's decision. That way, he could prove what was said that the trial process was a play or not.

"You can appeal so that you can annul the play justice called the Novel so that he has legal remedies until cassation until reconsideration," said Nasir.

However, reflecting on Novel's statement, this legal step is unlikely to be taken. Because, Novel seemed resigned and did not want to prolong the problem.

"If he (Novel) wants to but if he has given up, then what can I do," said Nasir.

For your information, the defendant in the case of pouring hard water on KPK investigator Novel Baswedan, Rahmat Kadir Mahulette, was sentenced to two years in prison.
