TNI says it reported Haris to reveal truth
Jakarta Post - August 4, 2016
TNI spokesman Maj. Gen. Tatang Sulaiman said his institution wanted to push the police and the Commission for Missing Persons and Victims of Violence (KontraS), a rights group where Haris serves as coordinator, to conduct a thorough investigation and collect evidence to prove the truth of his allegation.
"The statement may be useful input for the TNI to conduct an investigation, which may involve the institution's legal departments, including its intelligence body," said Tatang, Wednesday.
According to Haris, in a 2014 conversation Freddy mentioned that a two-star TNI general was involved in his drug network. Haris' written account of the conversation was circulated one day before Freddy was executed on July 29.
Specifically, Freddy said he had once delivered drugs from Medan, North Sumatra, using a car belonging to a two-star TNI general. The general even accompanied him in the car during the journey, Freddy claimed.
Tatang said the TNI was ready to uphold the law and promised it would bring the official to justice if the allegations were proven to be true. He said that if evidence confirming the allegations could not be found, the TNI would immediately treat the case as defamation against the institution.
On Tuesday, the National Police, TNI and National Narcotics Agency (BNN) reported Haris to Bareskrim, accusing him of violating the 2008 Electronic Information and Transactions (ITE) Law. (ebf)
