Serious Concerns Over Detainee Treatment in Police Custody

Today, MP Nazir Jamil of the PKS faction made an important statement regarding the treatment of detainees in police institutions. He expressed concern over the case of a detainee named Bayu, who faced inhumane treatment that ultimately led to his death. Jamil emphasized the need for police forces in Central Sulawesi and East Nusa Tenggara to receive adequate training and knowledge about detainee rights and services. He noted that this incident should serve as a lesson to enhance public trust in the police. Dissatisfaction with treatment within law enforcement agencies has prompted calls for the commission leadership to establish a small team to offer solutions and delve into this case. Jamil stressed the importance of using courageous language to support those striving to uphold justice while prioritizing the protection of integral police officers. This approach parallels how a sports coach must equip athletes with skills and knowledge to support their performance in the field, ensuring there are no fatal failures.
