The abuse case of University of Indonesia's historian, J.J. Rizal, done by police perpetrators Saturday night triggers strong reactions. This time it's the Indonesian Police Watch (IPW) that urges the district police chief to evaluate the performance of all resort police chiefs.
According to IPW coordinator, Neta S. Pane, in his press release to Kompas.com, Monday, the incident under the Depok Town Square overpass, Saturday evening, around 11.45 pm, is the second brutality done by the Depok police. Previously there was the shooting at the public transport driver who was suspected of gambling.
"This case in Beji area is the second in the last month, before this the police shot a bus driver. In this case the Depok police chief is lax for not monitoring his subordinates maximally. The Jakarta polie should evaluate the other police chiefs' positions."
According to Neta, the Beji case is only one of many cases of negligence in the National Police force. "This shows a weak recruitment and training system in the National Police. The government and the National Police chief should manage this seriously."
Meanwhile, J.J. Rizal, still refuses a peaceful compromy in settling the abuse incident that had befallen him. Rizal states that so far there has been no further approach from the Beji area police chief or from the Depok police chief.
"Since last week there has been no other effort of approach or communication from them aside from the time when they tried to use one of the social figures around my neighborhood, in Depok, to try to communicate with me to work out a compromizing solution. But I would've refused anyway. This must be settled in a court of law," said Rizal when contacted by Kompas.com.
Previously, on Sunday, Rizal had brought his case to the Jakarta police. In the dossier (BAP), Rizal is suing the five police perpetrators who abused him; their initials are AT, SR, SA, MA, and SU, with the charge of mobbing and abuse.
