aj. Gen. (ret) Kivlan Zein, a former aide of Gerindra Party chief patron Prabowo Subianto, has rejected a summons from the National Commission on Human Rights (Komnas HAM) over his statement about the involuntary disappearance of pro-democracy activists.
Kivlan also maintained that he had nothing to do with the disappearance of the activists. 'I was 100 percent uninvolved in the disappearances. But if there are efforts to question me, be my guest. But I will only accept a summons from the National Police or the Attorney General's Office [AGO],' Kivlan said as quoted by tribunnews.com.
Kivlan, now a politician with the United Development Party (PPP), earlier claimed he had key information regarding the disappearance of the activists.
'All of those people are dead, I know their whereabouts, I know who executed them and where their graves are,' Kivlan said on a talk show broadcast by the news channel TVOne earlier this month.
Last week, Komnas HAM said it would question Kivlan to obtain more details about his claim.
