JAKARTA - The Secretary of the DPP FPI Legal Aid, Aziz Yanuar, regretted the police action which still made it difficult for the legal team to retrieve the bodies of the six special FPI troops who were shot dead.

Aziz said, the team of attorneys for the families of the shooting victims on Monday, December 7, at around 22.00 to 23.30 WIB, were still in front of the Police Hospital corpse room.

"The attorney wants to see and retrieve the bodies of the shooting victims. The attorney decides to help the families because the families are not allowed to enter the POLRI Hospital and are blocked at the parking entrance," said Aziz in his statement, Monday, December 7.

However, at that time, the family and the legal team were not allowed to see and pick up the bodies of the six FPI troops. Aziz said they were asked to leave by Brimob troops.

"The lawyers were even evicted from the National Police Hospital by several Brimob troops and police officers," said Aziz.

What Aziz regretted was that previously, the head of the National Police's Public Relations Division, Inspector General Argo Yuwono, had already given information that his party would not complicate the process of taking the body.

"Even though we have shown evidence from the media regarding the official statement of the National Police. This is very regrettable, because again the police are suspected of being arbitrary," he said.

Previously, the National Police emphasized that they did not obstruct the family of 6 Special Laskar Guards of Rizieq Shihab from taking the body for burial.

"The National Police have never prevented or made it difficult for the family to take care of the bodies of the six people who tried to fight against the officer," said Head of Public Relations of the National Police, Inspector General Argo Yuwono in his statement, Monday, December 7.

In addition, Argo said, the National Police would not hide the whereabouts of their bodies. Currently, the bodies of the six members of the Special Army are at the Kramat Jati Police Hospital, East Jakarta.

"The body is at the Police Hospital. Of course the police are conducting an examination of the body to identify the identity of the body," he explained.

However, Argo did not deny it when he mentioned the deployment of TNI-Polri personnel to carry out tight guarding at the Police Hospital. This guard is to anticipate things that are not desirable to happen.

"Of course, according to the applicable SOP, the officers carry out security to prevent irresponsible people," he said.
