An Indonesian historian from University of Indonesia (UI) was ill-treated by the police on Saturday night, Dec 5. Victim JJ Rizal said he underwent physical maltreatment by a party of five police officers. "Two of them pointed guns at me," said Rizal on Sunday, Dec 6.
The man said the case had been brought to the Jakarta Police Department. "After the scanning result over my body has been completed, I would bring the case to Legal Aid Foundation (LBH) and Kontras," said JJ Rizal.
He claimed that the chiefs of Depok and Beji Depok police departments have begged for sorry over the excessive measures. "[The Beji Depok chief] also calls far me to forget the case," said Rizal.
However, Rizal said the issue should be legally processed because the field officers did not give him time to provide explanation.
"There was ambush on me. They hit more and talked less. The more I struggled, the more they beat me," the man recalled.
When he was under interrogation, the true story was revealed. The officers at once realized that he was not the real target.
However, even though it was the police's fault, the chief of Beji Depok PD instead chewed out on him: "You should not have struggled against them. Your action caused them to beat you," he said.
