Equivalent: Dead Execution Duplicate Jokowi Era of Human Rights Violations

Non-governmental organizations Equivalents Institute assesses the second phase of the execution of eight death row inmates has doubled the number of violations of human rights (HAM) in the era of President Joko Widodo. Within six months of the new government, there have been 14 people killed by the state apparatus by reason of law enforcement and rule of law. Chairman of the Board Equivalent Institute, Hendardi, found reason to execute that law enforcement can not be relied upon in the context of the humanitarian and human rights are universal. "Jokowi will continue to be recorded as the President who violate human rights because of its inability to stop the practice of the death penalty," said Hendardi through a press release received VIVA.co.id on Wednesday, April 29, 2015. He appreciates a stay of execution to a death row inmate citizen Philippines, Mary Jane Fiesta Veloso. But it shows that the judicial policy of Indonesia is still bad and unjust and does not meet the standards of justice, as defined in international human rights covenants and conventions. "The delay of execution on Mary Jane did not show Jokowi defense against humanity, namely the right to life, because in fact the remains of eight other people were executed," he said. The issue of drugs, according to him, will not be completed after execution is executed. Compared to accumulate a list of human rights violations, Jokowi suggested concentrating ensure aspects of prevention and police reform in drug dealing. Depicting the various parties alleged that the potential collusion of law enforcement officers with drug issues should be a concern Jokowi. Because that is where the real drug problem. "In parallel, Jokowi also must draw up a clear agenda towards abolition of the death penalty, both in the reform of the Criminal Code and other legal products," said Hendardi. "Be assured that the death penalty is not the only way to stop the danger and drug trafficking. Moreover, the execution of this, once again, closely related to the practice of political imagery to gather political support of the people who began to fade, "he added.
