Law enforcement institutions file suit against Indonesian rights activist
Jakarta Post - August 3, 2016
Commission for Missing Persons and Victims of Violence (Kontras) coordinator Haris Azhar has acknowledged the report, explaining that he had yet to be named a suspect but was still undergoing the process. He regretted the response from the three institutions, saying that the officials should instead probe into the information he had delivered.
"Instead of reporting me, it's better for the President to form a joint independent team to investigate what I have said from Freddy," Haris said.
National Police spokesman Sr. Com. Martinus Sitompul said as quoted by kompas.com on Wednesday that the report was filed on Tuesday.
The three bodies have accused Haris of violating the 2008 Electronic Information and Transactions (ITE) Law by circulating the testimony of executed drug lord Freddy Budiman on the alleged involvement of personnel from the three institutions in his international drug network.
According to Freddy's statement, the real cost of producing Chinese manufactured narcotics was only Rp 5,000 per unit, and thus he did not mind giving Indonesian law enforcement bodies Rp 5,000 to 10,000 extra per unit in exchange for protection. (ags)
