Comments: Severe punishment demanded in assault case

J

strong>July 7, p9

A group of women'€™s rights activists have urged the panel of judges trying the Transjakarta sexual assault case, to impose harsh sanctions on the four suspects as a deterrent to them and others.

Your comments:

I agree with those activists fully. The demand is far too lenient and maybe the judge will even make a quick joke about '€œthe raped woman enjoyed it probably too'€.

Impossible? Well no actually, it happened already with a candidate judge for the Supreme Court. During a hearing at the House of Representatives (and there was laughter around!) a couple of years ago.

It should be a minimum of five to seven years.
