Jakarta. President
Joko “Jokowi” Widodo has allowed a legal process to be conducted against the
missing investigation documents related to the murder of prominent human rights
defender Munir Said Thalib.
The missing
documents had been submitted to former president Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono at
the State Palace in 2005.
“If there
is a new novum [existing evidence before a trial process], conduct the legal
process,” Jokowi said at Merdeka Palace, Jakarta, Thursday (13/10).
The
president also ordered a search for the missing documents submitted by the
original fact-finding team on Munir’s case.
“I have
ordered the Attorney General [HM Prasetyo] to find and locate the results of
the fact-finding team, as it is not available at the State Secretary Ministry,”
Jokowi added.
Previously,
the coordinator of the Commission for Missing Persons and Victims of Violence
(KontraS) Haris Azhar urged the government to investigate the whereabouts of
the documents.
