Bandarlampung, Lampung, May 17 (ANTARA LAMPUNG) - The National Commission on Human Rights (Komnas HAM) said the next president must settle a minimum of seven out of 10 gross human rights violation cases that have not been settled until now.
"Seven cases of gross human rights violations are still with the Attorney General Office, including the Trisakti tragedy, the first and second Semanggi incidents and the Talangsari violence in Lampung," the commission's chief Siti Noor Laila said at a public discussion on "Moving Towards Nation's Self-Reliance" held by the Jokowi National Secretariat in Lampung here on Saturday.
She said the three human rights cases that had been settled were the Abepura, East Timor and Tanjungpriok cases.
"The state in this case the government is the one responsible for the settlement of the cases and so cases left by the previous governments must be settled by anyone who will be elected later," she said.
She said the democratic process cannot be separated from the impact of human rights violation cases that had occurred, so the supervision must be continued.
"The Komnas HAM are also monitoring the implementation of the recent general elections in 22 provinces out of 33 provinces across Indonesia, and the results have been disappointing due to several instances of intimidation as well as money politics," she said.
She said the practices have given a wrong political education to the people and "because they have happened massively the country has to work even harder to improve the nation's morality."
She hoped the president-elect later will settle various human rights cases that have been reported, especially agrarian conflicts, which are mostly triggered by company policies that are supported by government policies.
