EMARANG: The Indonesian Army chief Gen. Pramono Edhie Wibowo pledged that there would no longer be impunity for members of his corps and that all personnel guilty of criminal acts would be sent to jail.

Pramono also said that all court proceedings involving members of the Army would be made transparent.

'The public will see for themselves that all violations involving members of the Indonesian Military (TNI) will be processed and the public can monitor that,' Pramono said as quoted by kompas.com in Semarang, the capital city of Central Java.

He said all TNI members involved in criminal acts and violence in the past few months are now being investigated.

Pramono referred to TNI personnel involved in the attack against members of the National Police in Ogan Kemring Ulu, South Sumatra, members of the Army Special Forces (Kopassus) implicated in the execution-style murder of four detainees in Cebongan Penitentiary, Sleman Yogyakarta and members of the Army's 13th Engineering Construction Battalion (Yon Zikon 13) who attacked members of the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P) earlier this month.

Pramono said for the attack on PDI-P members, the Military Prosecutor has charged five soldiers who would soon be tried in a military tribunal.
