Community-based companies might be represented by the Muhammadiyah and the Indonesian Muslim Intellectuals Association (ICMI), while political parties might be represented by the United Advancement Party (PPP) and Prosperous Justice Celebration (PKS), he included.
Non-governmental companies could be represented by Amnesty International Indonesia, Indonesian Legal Aid Foundation (YLBHI), and Indonesian Police Enjoy (IPW), Nur Wahid suggested.
” This independent fact-finding group needs to be formed right away to make it possible for the Komnas HAM commissioners to get strengthened and acquire greater gain access to for an extensive investigation into the alleged human rights violation in this shooting case,” he included.

Nevertheless, the FPI refuted claims that its members attacked policemans on the grounds that they were unarmed.
” FPI members do not have firearms. A shootout is difficult,” Munarman, basic secretary of the FPI, stated at an interview.
