JAKARTA - The Ministry of Law and Human Rights (Kemenkum HAM) explained the purpose of the contents of the letter which must be signed by the heirs of the victims of the Tangerang prison fire in Banten, not to sue in the future due to the incident that killed many of its occupants.

"So at that time, my friends at the implementation level thought that what was evidence of the corpse had been taken care of properly according to the direction of the Minister of Law and Human Rights," said Director General of Human Rights at the Ministry of Law and Human Rights, Mualimin Abdi, quoted by Antara, Monday, November 1.

This includes also referring to evidence of funeral money submitted to each heir, so that lower-level executives think that there must be proof of receipt.

With the signing of the letter, the executor under thought that everything had been completed and it was hoped that there would be no further prosecutions in the future.

The letter he meant was a letter signed by the heirs in which the point was that they were not allowed to sue anyone in the future related to the Tangerang prison fire incident, Banten.

"So there is absolutely no intention of silencing or suppressing and only for proof that everything is done well," he said.

However, he realized that if there were heirs who felt the letter was inappropriate, the government through the Ministry of Law and Human Rights would apologize to the families of the victims.

"Once again, we apologize to the families of the victims," he said.

On the one hand, he realized that the victim's family was in a state of mourning and the loss of a family member. "So if it is considered not good, we openly apologize to the families of the victims and hope to be forgiven for things that are not right," he said.

Previously, a number of families of the victims of the LPTangerang fire regretted the contents of the letter issued by the Ministry of Law and Human Rights, which in essence should not prosecute anyone for the deadly incident.

In full, the letter states that: I am the family of the victim, I have no demands against the prison and other parties in the future.
