Jakarta – Three wives of imprisoned terror suspects filed a report on Friday with the National Commission on Human Rights (Komnas HAM) claiming they were sexually harassed by police while visiting their husbands at the National Police Mobile Brigade's (Brimob) detention center in Kelapa Dua, Depok.

Nausah, the wife of terror suspect Agus Supriyanto, said that a policewoman told her to take off her underwear before entering the facility.

"The officer suspected that I had hidden a cellphone or money inside my underwear. I refused and told her that it was not standard procedure, and I could not do it because I was carrying my child. Suddenly, the officer pulled down my pants and underpants," she said at the Komnas HAM office in Jakarta.

Offended by the officer's action, Nausah left without seeing Agus, who was allegedly involved in the 2011 church bombing in Surakarta, Central Java.

Umu Latif, the wife of suspected terrorist Sugianto, said she had gone through the underpants inspection several times. "I forced myself to endure that. It was the only way to meet my husband. I spent a huge amount of money to travel from my home in Poso, Central Sulawesi, to here," she said.

Sugianto, a cocoa farmer and Koran recital teacher, was arrested on December last year under the suspicion that he facilitated terrorist attacks in Poso and participated in a paramilitary training led by terrorist fugitive Santoso.

The other woman included in the report is Amah Nabila, the wife of Joko, an alleged Poso terrorist.

Komnas HAM commissioner Siane Indriani said that the commission would seek clarification from officials at the National Police about the incidents.

"Body inspection is a normal procedure at the prison. But examining visitors' underwear is outrageous. This is the first time we have received a report on this matter," Siane said.
