The National Police Responds to Criticism of OUR Activist Handcuffs

Jakarta, CNN Indonesia

Headquarters Police stated that his party had never discriminated against the suspect in the case he had charged.

This was in response to criticism regarding the different treatment of the suspect in the case of incitement, which made the demonstration chaotic. Most of the suspects who were members of the Coalition for the Action to Save Indonesia (KAMI) in a press conference on Thursday (15/10) were shown handcuffed in the hands of the suspects.

“So far, we have conveyed the same, there is no difference with other suspects,” said Police Head of Public Information Bureau (Karopenmas) Brigadier General Awi Setiyono to reporters at Police Headquarters, Jakarta, Friday (16/10).


He also gave an example when two suspects were in a bribery case for revocation red notice Djoko Tjandra, who is the police general, namely Inspector General Napoelon Bonaparte and Brigadier General Prasetijo Utomo, is being transferred to the AGO.

Awi emphasized that the two suspects were also wearing prison clothes as they should.

“Earlier (Prasetijo) was wearing a prison suit, right,” he said again.

In this case, criticism of the imposition of handcuffs on US activists was made by the Member of the Regional Representative Council (DPD) RI Jimly Asshiddiqie.

According to him, the police should be wiser, even though these US members have been named as suspects in the alleged violation of the Law on Information and Electronic Transactions (UU ITE).

“Just being detained is not appropriate, let alone being handcuffed for the sake of being disseminated. As protecting citizens, the police should be wiser in upholding justice & truth. Look for bad people, not people who are wrong or just” wrong “,” said Jimly via his Twitter account, @JimlyAs. , Friday (16/10).

Likewise, Deputy Chairman of the Gerindra Party Advisory Board Fadli Zon said that the treatment of political prisoners during the Dutch colonial period was more polite and humane than it is now.

“In the past, Dutch colonialists were much more polite and humane in treating political prisoners. Look at Bung Karno in Ende, Bengkulu n Bangka. Bung Hatta n Syahrir is indeed heavier in Digul. In Bandaneira it is more lenient,” said Fadli via his Twitter account, @fadlizon, Friday (16/10).
