Lembaga Negara Mendesak Jokowi Tidak Memasukkan Pembunuh ke Kabinet

25 Oktober 2014

Komnas HAM telah menyerahkan daftar 174 nama bertanda merah yang terkait kasus Hak Asasi Manusia kepada Presiden Jokowi.

Nama-nama ini terdiri dari para pejabat (bekas atau masih menjabat) yang terlibat dalam pembunuhan, penculikan atau kejahatan-kejahatan serupa. (Komnas HAM jelas menyiratkan bahwa Jen. Wiranto dan Jen. Hendropriyono tercatat dalam daftar tersebut). 

Komnas HAM meminta agar Presiden Jokowi tidak memasukkan seorangpun dari daftar nama itu ke dalam kabinetnya. 

Jokowi menggunakan data KPK guna mendiskualifikasi calon-calon yang bermasalah. 

Apakah ia akan melakukan hal yang sama dengan daftar yang telah dibuat Komnas HAM?

Jika tidak, maka pemerintahan Jokowi seolah akan lebih mementingkan kasus-kasus pencurian uang ketimbang pembunuhan tak berperikemanusiaan.

A Government Body Asks Jokowi to Exclude Murderers from the Cabinet.

The Indonesian government human rights commission, KOMNASHAM, has submitted to President Jokowi a list of 174 people who have their own human rights red marks ("tanda merah").

These are current or ex officials implicated in massacre, abduction or similar crimes.  (The commissioners strongly implied that Gens. Wiranto and Hendropriyono were among them).

The commission asked President Jokowi not to appoint any of them to his cabinet.  

Jokowi used the anti-corruption commission (KPK) data to disqualify cabinet candidates.

Will he do the same with the human rights commission list?

If he doesn't, that will show that the Jokowi government acts as if the unlawful taking of lives is less important than the unlawful taking of money.
