AS, 15, a second grader at state vocational school SMKN 2 Makassar in South Sulawesi, and his father Adnan Achmad, 43, have been named suspects after reportedly beating up Dasrul, 52, a teacher at the school. The police detained them at the Tamalate Makassar Police station on Thursday.
Tamalate Makassar Police chief Comr.Azis Yunus said the two suspects were being charged with violating Article 170 of the Criminal Code (KUHP) on attacking or beating up other people. The son and father could face seven years in prison.
“Although MAS is also charged with violating Article 170 of the KUHP, we are still investigating his case because he is still categorized a minor,” said Azis.
Meanwhile, Dasrul is still undergoing medical treatment at Bhayangkara Hospital in Makassar.
MAS and his father, Adnan, reportedly attacked Dasrul on Wednesday after the latter scolded the student for failing to bring his drawing kit to class. Dasrul then slapped MAS in the face.
On Thursday, hundreds of SMKN 2 students and teachers staged a rally in front of the Tamalate Makassar Police station and the South Sulawesi Legislative Council (DPRD) to show their support for Dasrul. They called on authorities to punish MAS and his father. They also pushed SMKN 2 management to expel MAS from the school.
Wasir Thalib, the chairman of the South Sulawesi chapter of the Teachers Association, condemned the incident.
“We’re really disappointed to see the attack against Pak Dasrul, who is a teacher. We want this case can be investigated thoroughly,” he said. (ebf)
