The order came following the meeting between the President and Komnas HAM commissioners on Thursday, during which the commissioners handed a full report of their investigation to Jokowi, said Coordinating Political, Legal and Security Affairs Minister Mahfud MD.

“After meeting the commissioners, he [Jokowi] talked to me, saying he hoped that all of the recommendations made by Komnas HAM will be followed up,” Mahfud said in a press conference on Thursday.

Last week, the rights body announced its findings of an incident in Kerawang, West Java, that claimed the lives of six FPI members. It found that two of the victims were killed during a shootout with the police, but the other four were found dead after being held in police custody, an indication of a human rights violation.

Komnas HAM recommended that the individuals responsible for the killings be prosecuted and called for further investigation into the possession of firearms allegedly used by the FPI members during the incident.

“We recommended [that the case] be brought to the criminal court in order to prove what we indicate as unlawful killings,” Komnas HAM chairman Ahmad Taufan Damanik said in the same press conference. “Komnas HAM hopes for an accountable and transparent legal process that is open to the public.”
