Jakarta – The National Police Chief Listyo Sigit Prabowo instructed his entire staff to guard and secure the student demonstration on April 11, 2022. General Sigit asked his staff to monitor demonstrations by prioritizing a humanist approach.

“Polri provides and guarantees that every citizen can express his wishes or provide space for democracy. Therefore, a humanist approach to protecting demonstrations must continue to be carried out,” Sigit wrote to reporters, Sunday (10/4).

Sigit ensured that the National Police were committed to upholding human rights and democratic values in Indonesia. In this case, said Sigit, the Police are subject to the 1945 Constitution and the law on freedom of opinion and expression which are part of human rights.

Please Demo April 11 Keep Ramadan Holy

On the other hand, Sigit also emphasized that the National Police will continue to carry out their duties to guarantee security and public order (kamtibmas). Therefore, Sigit hopes that the demonstration on April 11 can also respect and uphold the sanctity and solemnity of Muslims who are fasting during the month of Ramadan.

“Therefore, the humanist method must continue to be implemented. Also because this is Ramadan, we must pay attention to the purity and solemnity of Muslim fasting,” said Sigit.

To create a more conducive, safe and peaceful security and security situation during the demonstration, Sigit asked the police and the operation participants to jointly guard against the presence of stowaway or unscrupulous persons trying to ride this demonstration.

Sigit said, with the anticipation of stowaways from the police and action participants, the aspirations and wishes conveyed can be communicated and conveyed normally without noise interference or communication barriers.

With no disturbance from unscrupulous passengers, Sigit believes that the aspirations expressed by students and the community can be well received and followed up by policy makers.

Don’t want the April 11 demo to be infiltrated by illegal passengers

Sigit believes that students who are intellectual at heart also don’t want and want their actions to be infiltrated by irresponsible people.

“So that this message is conveyed very clearly, without noise. That way, decision makers, policy makers, listen clearly and then immediately follow up on the message without noise. This is of course our shared responsibility,” he said.

For stowaway, Sigit said the police will take firm action against anyone who tries to use demonstrations for the benefit of a few groups.

“But for groups of intruders who will ride on help from colleagues to monitor properly. If there is a trigger then something anarchic happens and we have to enforce the law, pull it up to the top until it is finished and we will process everything. Because the Police want the student movement to run in a safe, orderly manner and convey their aspirations,” he said.

“Once again, I urge you, let’s take care of Ramadan together. Express aspirations in an orderly and peaceful manner. May our Muslim brothers and sisters fast quietly and smoothly until the end,” he added.
