error suspect Siyono’s family continues to receive threats from the police, a defense team for the family has said. The most recent threat came about when officers from the National Police Internal Affairs Division summoned Siyono’s father Mardiyo for questioning over the autopsy carried out on his son.
“This is a form of terror. What does the autopsy has to do with the issue of police ethics?” said Trisno Raharjo of the Humanitarian Defense Team (TPK) in a press conference at the Center for Human Rights Studies at Islamic University of Indonesia on Wednesday.
The TPK was established by the Muhammadiyah Central Board to resolve the case of Siyono, who was allegedly subjected to violence during his arrest by the police’s counter-terrorism unit Densus 88 on March 8. He later died on March 10.
An autopsy conducted by the National Commission on Human Rights (Komnas HAM) revealed that broken ribs had caused Siyono’s death.
Trisno said Mardiyo was questioned by Propam at the Pogung village hall in Klaten on Tuesday.
