Previously, the www.hukumindo.com platform has talk about "President Prabowo Grants Amnesty to 1,178 People", "Shi Yongxin Kung Fu Scandal", you may read also "Police Arrest 11 People in Connection with Cross-Border Fraud in South Jakarta" and on this occasion we will discuss about 'Minister of Law: Amnesty and Abolition Is For Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia'.

Minister of Law (Menkum) Supratman Andi Agtas emphasized that the granting of amnesty, including to Hasto Kristiyanto and abolition to Tom Lembong, was not for personal reasons. As head of state and head of government, the President is concerned with the nation and state. "I know this is a legal decision, but it has political implications. But once again, the President has a perspective that goes beyond mere political matters; this is for the sake of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia," Supratman stated.[1]

Therefore, whether there are parties who agree or disagree with the decision, he stated that this is a dynamic and consequence of democracy. However, the Minister emphasized that the President has very limited but special powers in the judiciary, namely granting clemency, amnesty, abolition, and rehabilitation.[2] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.
