Dream - The Press Council will form an investigative team involving law enforcement officials and journalists or the Press and Journalist Association (KKJ) to investigate the house fire that killed a journalist named Rico Sempurna Pasaribu and three members of his family in Karo Regency, North Sumatra (Sumut) on Thursday, June 27, 2024, evening.
The Chairman of the Press Council, Ninik Rahayu, stated that violence against journalists is a legal violation and contrary to the provisions of Law Number 40 of 1999 concerning the Press.
"The activities of journalists, in this case, Tribrata TV journalists, engaging in other suspected unlawful activities, do not justify the violence they experienced," said Ninik in a written statement, Tuesday, June 2, 2024. Ninik explained that a fact-finding team from the Journalist Safety Commission (KKJ) of North Sumatra, consisting of the Independent Journalist Alliance (AJI) Medan, the Television Journalist Association (IJTI) of North Sumatra, the Indonesian Photojournalist Association (PFI) Medan, the Indonesian Women Journalist Forum (FJPI), and the Legal Aid Institution (LBH) Medan, have verified and investigated the fire incident."
From the investigation results, several facts were found that the fire incident which killed four people occurred after the victims reported gambling activities on Jalan Kapten Bom Ginting, Padang Mas Village, Kabanjahe District, Karo Regency, North Sumatra, and allegedly involved TNI personnel.
"The Press Council deeply regrets the loss of lives caused by the fire. There are two different versions of this incident. The KKJ team's version suggests the alleged involvement of TNI personnel and their connection to gambling activities in the TNI personnel's house. Meanwhile, another version states that the fire occurred due to a gasoline spill in the victim's house, which then ignited the fire. It is worth noting that the victim's house indeed sells retail gasoline," said Ninik.
On that incident, the Press Council requested the National Police Chief along with the North Sumatra Police Chief to form an investigation team that is fair and impartial in investigating this case.
The following is the translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any HTML tags: "Dewan Pers will also form a joint investigation team involving authorities and journalist elements or KKJ. Dewan Pers also requests the Commander of TNI and Pangdam to form a team to investigate this case openly and impartially."
"The Press Council requests the National Commission on Human Rights (Komnas HAM) and the Legal Aid Foundation for Victims (LPSK) to participate in conducting investigative efforts and providing necessary protection to the victims' families," said Ninik. Specifically, the Press Council urges journalists and media to work professionally and adhere to the Journalistic Code of Ethics (KEJ) and other related regulations."
The Press Council hopes that such incidents will not happen again and journalists can perform their journalistic duties well.
Jules said that the perpetrator, MA, extorted the victim's parents by asking for Rp600,000. If they refuse, AN's photos and videos will be spread.
