IDNEWSNOW.COM, Jakarta – The National Commission on Human Rights (Komnas HAM) reminded law enforcers to be watchful prior to choosing to carry out the death penalty as it would draw the attention of the international community.
” The United Nations can put us under the spotlight since Indonesia is still thought about a nation that executes capital punishment,” stated Beka Ulung Hapsara, member of the Komnas HAM, on Thursday, January 13, 2022.
Beka reminded the government to tread carefully on subjects that are carefully related to human rights as there is a moratorium on the capital punishment in Indonesia as reported by Antaranews
Beka’s statement was made as a response to the heinous criminal offense dedicated by Herry Wirawan, an owner and instructor of 2 Bandung Islamic boarding schools, who molested and raped 13 of his students, a few of which had even bear children.
Another element that ought to be thought about according to Beka is that most of countries in the world no longer implements the death penalty in their state punishment system which Indonesia has actually ratified the United Nations (UN) Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment.
” Which indicates, this ratification needs to also be thought about by each and every police officers, officials, and policy-makers,” said the Komnas HAM member.
