TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Amnesty International Indonesia said one of the dominant human rights violations during the 100 days of the Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming Raka administration was violence and extrajudicial killings by police officers. Amnesty International Indonesia Executive Director Usman Hamid said this trend was a continuation of several cases involving the National Police or Polri and military or TNI institutions in 2024.
Amnesty International Indonesia found that from October 21 to December 30, 2024, there were at least 17 cases of extrajudicial killings by Polri and TNI officers. The number of civilian victims was recorded at 17.
"The emergence of extrajudicial killings shows that the new government has no serious intention to break the chain of violence by the authorities and is reluctant to break the chain of impunity in the police and TNI," Usman said in a written statement on Friday, January 24, 2025.
The data includes an attack by a group of TNI army personnel on civilians in Deli Serdang, North Sumatra on Friday night, November 8, 2024. The attack killed one civilian and injured several others.
On November 24, 2024, a vocational high school student in Semarang City, Central Java, Gamma Rizkynata Oktavandy, was shot dead by a member of the Semarang City Police Narcotics Investigation Unit, Second Inspector Robig Zaenudin. Meanwhile, two of his friends were injured.
"The Semarang police even created a false narrative that the victim was a gang member," said Usman.
