People often feel tricked by the National Narcotics Agency (BNN) into drugs cases, such as sudden findings of pinch of weed or ecstasy pills in our car or pocket. So, can people sue BNN to open investigation on how they are implicated?
In regards to that question, the Community Legal Aid Institute (LBH Masyarakat) sued the BNN on investigation procedure. LBH Masyarakat said that the regulation security officials to act beyond their authority which could cause human rights violation. They pointed out that many people arrested for drug charges were not actual drug dealers, but they were framed.
On that basis, LBH Masyarakat sued the BNN to the Central Information Commission and demanded BNN to open up the investigation process. However, the lawsuit was rejected.
After that, LBH Masyarakat appealed to the Jakarta Administrative Court. However, the result was the same.
The last resort was cassation to the Supreme Court. And the result? “Dismissing plaintiff’s cassation,” as quoted from the Supreme Court’s website on Tuesday (1/10/2013).
