Bobby Nasution should support law enforcement in accordance with statutory regulations and human rights principles.
Instead of recklessly issuing statements that have the potential to cause human rights violations.
It needs to be underlined, continued Tioria, that based on KontraS’ monitoring, from July 2022-June 2023, there had been 29 shooting incidents that left 41 people dead (extrajudicial killings).
Two cases of extrajudicial killing and four cases of torture occurred in North Sumatra.
