The Indonesian Child Protection Commission (KPAI) says that most students were unaware of the issues behind the protest, and that some had simply been lured into taking a "trip to Jakarta".
Indonesian Badminton Association (PBSI) secretary-general Achmad Budiharto was one of those who regretted PB Djarum’s decision to stop its general audition, pointing out that the PBSI does not have the capacity to run a development program from early age.
The latest Instagram post on KPAI’s account @KPAI_Official, which shows KPAI executives meeting with heads of regional education agencies in a hotel in Jakarta, was inundated with more than 4,000 comments as of Monday morning, most of them complaints about the audition suspension.
Indonesia’s leading badminton club, PB Djarum, has decided to halt its annual general audition following a deadlock in discussions with the Indonesian Child Protection Commission (KPAI) over the commission’s objection to the use of the Djarum cigarette brand on the participants’ shirts.
“During the arrests, the members’ wives and children were also brought to the office [of a private company involved in the land dispute] and had to watch their husbands or fathers being tortured. They are traumatized, scared and worried about the condition of their children [who were later separated from the parents],” Adriana Venny from Komnas Perempuan said.
Police dismissed the suspects’ claim of consensual sexual relations between them and the three students since the victims had confessed that each of them was not in a relationship with the suspects.
