TLDR

  • A court hearing is scheduled for the case of an acid attack on human rights activist Andrie Yunus.
  • The court is expected to present eight witnesses, including military and civilian personnel.
  • The victim, Andrie Yunus, is still undergoing intensive medical treatment and will not attend the hearing.

The legal proceedings in the case of Andrie Yunus, who suffered a brutal acid attack, continue to unfold at the Military Court II-08 Jakarta. Tempo is closely following this case, which highlights the serious allegations of violence against a prominent human rights activist. The court's decision to summon multiple witnesses, including personnel from BAIS TNI and civilians, indicates a thorough investigation into the incident. However, the fact that the victim, Andrie Yunus, is still in intensive care and unable to attend the proceedings due to his severe injuries underscores the gravity of the attack. His legal team's statement that he requires ongoing medical treatment, including for his eyes and skin grafts, emphasizes the long road to recovery and the significant impact of this violent act. This case raises critical questions about the safety of activists and the pursuit of justice in Indonesia.

The defendant's side did not file an exception, so for the next hearing, eight witnesses will be summoned.
