Former FPI legal aid secretary Aziz Yanuar, who is the victims' attorney, said he did not fully agree with the trial process.

According to Aziz, law enforcers should have been aware of the various wounds on the victims' bodies. He argued the incident was clearly a gross human rights violation.
"The indictment submitted by the public prosecutor refutes the statement by the National Commission on Human Rights (Komnas HAM), which stated that the incident was not a gross human rights violation," he said. (cr3/mcr20/jpnn)
