Rights activists criticized the recent military court in relation to the recent torture toward a group of Papuans in Tingginambut District, Papua, by the Indonesian military.
"The military prosecutors have only accused them with the military internal discipline violation. This is, of course, far from enough since the prosecutors are not raising the issue of torture carried out by the military," Al Araf, program director of human rights activist group Imparsial, told a press conference on Monday.
Therefore, he strongly suggested that the Human Rights National Commission initiate another investigation to seek proof of what lead to the torture.
Bathara, another activist, said the result of the commission's investigation would be followed by a human rights court process.
"The ball is in the President's hands now, whether he wants to use his authority to encourage the commission to undertake the expected investigation," he said.
Five military personnel were brought to the Military Court in relation to the accusation practicing torture on a group of Papuans at Tingginambut District, Papua.
The military had admitted that the torture was part of the investigation process of a group of Papuans, who were accused of being part of the Free Papuan Movement (OPM).
The case originated from a video showing military personnel using torture in questioning a group of Papuans.
Last week, activists condemned the military's decision to hold a tribunal in Jayapura over an alleged torture video, calling it "misleading" and "a farce" to distract the public from the heart of the matter.
