House to question TNI Chief over torture in Papua
The House of Representatives said Monday it would question Indonesian Military (TNI) Chief Adm. Agus Suhartono over an alleged military torture of Papuan separatists posted in Youtube.
Legislators Bambang Soesatyo and Effendi Choirie agreed that Agus must explain the incident.
Effendi said soldiers could not just treat people arbitrarily.
"If there is a law violation, let police finish the job. It's not soldier job," he said as quoted by kompas.com
The video reportedly showed that TNI soldiers kicked and hit Papuan separatists and even burned the penis of one of them. However, the video has been removed by Youtube for its shocking and disgusting content.
