Ezra Sihite – The National Police racked up more reports of human rights violations during 2011 than any other government institution or private company, a watchdog said on Monday.

The National Commission on Human Rights (Komnas HAM) said that the public lodged far more complaints about the National Police than any other single institution or firm. "Complaints to the National Police reached 1262 cases," Komnas HAM chairman Ifdhal Kasim said on Monday (16/01).

Private companies received a total of 775 complaints, followed by local government offices, which received a grand total of 585 complaints, according to Ifdahl.

The Indonesian Military (TNI) was the subject of 181 complaints. "Cases which involved the TNI are usually centered on TNI-owned land," Ifdahl said.
