Komnas HAM Finds Strong Indications Of Human Rights Violations The Death Of Brigadier J
JAKARTA - The National Human Rights Commission (Komnas HAM) found strong indications of human rights violations in the case of Brigadier J's death, particularly those that led to obstruction of justice or efforts to hinder law enforcement.
"That's why one of our focuses, for example on obstruction of justice in the context of the police, is the destruction of the crime scene," said Komnas HAM Commissioner Mohammad Choirul Anam as quoted by ANTARA, Thursday, August 11.
Komnas HAM, he said, studied and paid attention to the obstruction of justice in the case. Because if found, it is part of human rights violations.
"So if the question is currently found indications of human rights violations, especially regarding obstruction of justice? The indications are very strong," he said.
He said that in the context of ordinary law or the case of Brigadier J's death, the obstruction of justice is related to the destruction of the crime scene, blurring of stories and so on. However, in the wider context of human rights it leads to obstacles to the law enforcement process.
Komnas HAM, he continued, could not conclude whether this happened or not. However, strong indications point to obstruction of justice in the case of the death of Brigadier J with the suspects Bharada E, RR, KM and Inspector General Ferdy Sambo.
Meanwhile, regarding Ferdy Sambo's examination, the Head of the Public Relations Division of the National Police, Inspector General Dedi Prasetyo, said that the National Police's special team was coordinating with Komnas HAM, which also scheduled an examination of the former Head of the National Police Propam Division.
"Then for Komnas HAM, because today there is an inspection by Inspector General FS as a suspect, the focus of the special team is to conduct an examination first. So, Inspector General FS, cannot be examined by Komnas HAM, because the investigation by the special team of Polri is pro-justitia," said Dedi.
