In addition, KPAI Commissioner Retno Listyarti also received two photos showing four shirtless students in the room.

"The photos each depict two children who were handcuffed on one hand, so that both of them had to be close together because they were tied with one handcuff," said Retno in a written statement, Thursday (11/18).

"More sadly, one of the children was also chained to his neck like an animal," continued Retno.

Previously, the KPAI received reports of alleged violence against students at the school. Besides being locked up, they were allegedly slapped and kicked. The victims were sentenced to be put in the room for months.

"In addition to being locked up, children were also be subjected to physical punishment such as beatings, and some victims even had their jaws shifted," said Retno. (cr1/mcr20/jpnn)
