Court Questions Motives in Corrosive Liquid Attack on Indonesian Activist

The ongoing trial of four Indonesian military members accused of assaulting activist Andrie Yunus with corrosive liquid brings to light troubling questions about the actions of state security forces. The court's skepticism regarding the defendants' alleged personal motives is particularly significant. It is unusual for soldiers to act on personal vendettas against individuals they do not know, especially in connection with a legislative discussion. The fact that the alleged assault occurred months after Yunus's interruption of a meeting on the TNI Law revision, and that the accused were not on duty at the time, further fuels speculation. This case, as reported by CNN Indonesia, is being closely watched as it touches upon issues of civilian oversight of the military and the potential for abuse of power. The defense's insistence that there was no order suggests a complex web of circumstances, but the court's probing questions indicate a deep-seated doubt about the official narrative. The public will be looking for clarity on whether this was an isolated incident or indicative of a more systemic problem.

Apa urusan mereka terhadap Andrie Yunus? Apa urusan mereka dengan RUU TNI? Apa urusan mereka dengan pengajuan judicial review(JR UU TNI) ke MK? Apa korelasi mereka melakukan (penyiraman air keras) itu? Kan hanya prajurit Denma.
