Jakarta – The coordinator of the politics, law and human rights division of the Commission for Missing Persons and Victims of Violence (Kontras), Edwin Partogi, said Kontras was questioning a progress report from the police's internal affairs division regarding the investigation of a case where a uniformed police officer allegedly beat up a civilian.

Edwin said the internal affairs division chief, Insp. Gen. Oegroseno, told them they should wait until the police completed the investigations.

The incident had occurred on Dec. 14 last year when a Jakarta Police team found Aan Susandi, an employee at one of Artha Graha's subsidiaries, injured with wounds to his stomach and face in a room at the Artha Graha Building.

The police report said in the room with Aan was former lawmaker Viktor Laiskodat, who is now a commissioner at one of the Artha Graha subsidiary companies, and three police officers from Maluku Police office, namely Sr. Comr. John Siahaan, Second Insp. Johni and Brig. Obed.

According to Aan, he was beaten by the police officials because he was suspected to have had ecstasy pills and a gun. Aan later reported the beating to Kontras, who went on to report the case to the National Police.
