Overview
- The head of the Strategic Intelligence Agency resigned after four officers from his unit were arrested, while police also detained two other suspects whose links to the case remain unclear.
- The March 12 attack left Andrie Yunus, a KontraS deputy coordinator, with burns to about a fifth of his face and body, and he remains in intensive care after surgery.
- Amnesty International Indonesia urged President Prabowo to order an independent investigation and to move the case to a civilian court.
- Officials condemned the assault, with Prabowo calling it terrorism and UN rights chief Volker Turk calling it a cowardly act of violence.
- Rights groups warn the case tests accountability as Indonesia’s military expands its role in civilian life and as suspects who are soldiers could face military courts rather than civilian prosecution.
