Indonesian Human Rights Minister Natalius Pigai is urging the lawyer of KontraS activist Andrie Yunus to file a cassation appeal regarding the appellate sentence of two military personnel convicted of an acid attack. The call follows dissatisfaction with the current ruling in the case. Pigai believes further legal action is necessary to achieve justice for the victim. He specifically encouraged Andrie Yunus's legal counsel to pursue the highest level of appeal available. This case has drawn significant attention regarding accountability within the Indonesian military. The Minister’s intervention highlights ongoing concerns about human rights and the pursuit of justice in cases involving state actors. The push for a cassation suggests the current sentencing is perceived as insufficient.
