Amnesty Indonesia director demands independent committee
Amnesty Indonesia director Usman Hamid calls for DPR and government to form independent committee to investigate illegal surveillance scandal involving ex-Inspector General and two senior police officials.
“Polri jangan hanya mengusut kasus penyadapan yang menargetkan presiden dan mereka yang berada di lingkar kekuasaan, namun harus mengusut tuntas dampak kasus penyadapan ini secara luas. Perlu diungkapkan siapa saja yang menjadi korban. Usut tuntas kasus penyadapan secara transparan kepada publik”
Independent committee needed for transparency
Usman Hamid insists investigation must involve civil society and independent institutions to ensure independence and impartiality in the process.

Usman Hamid demands immediate moratorium on Pegasus spyware usage by police and BSSN until appropriate surveillance laws are enacted.
“Moratorium penggunaan spyware Pegasus oleh Polri dan BSSN harus segera diberlakukan sampai ada UU Penyadapan yang sesuai HAM”
Independent investigation required
Government must conduct independent, impartial, and transparent investigation into purchase and use of surveillance software and technology.
“pemerintah juga harus melakukan penyelidikan yang independen, tidak memihak, dan transparan terkait pembelian dan penggunaan perangkat lunak mata-mata serta teknologi pengawasan”
Legal framework needed
DPR must create laws that regulate surveillance with standards aligned with human rights to ensure judicial authorization and procedural protections.
“DPR perlu membuat hukum yang mengatur pengawasan, yang selaras dengan standar HAM. UU penyadapan wajib memastikan setiap penyadapan harus tunduk pada otorisasi yudisial, perlindungan prosedural yang jelas, pelaksanaan yang transparan, serta pengawasan yang kuat berlapis”
Reform needed
All measures must be implemented immediately to ensure civil society can operate without fear of illegal surveillance.
“Tapi harus menjadi pintu baru reformasi total sistem penyadapan di Indonesia”
What it means
Amnesty Indonesia's director demands independent committee to investigate illegal surveillance scandal involving ex-Inspector General and two senior police officials.
