Many death sentences were carried out during the Jokowi government era

Many death sentences were carried out during the Jokowi government era

 


The average number of death sentences handed down during President Joko Widodo's two terms in office was 57 per year, higher than the death sentences handed down under the previous four presidents. Namely BJ Habibie, Abdurrahman Wahid, Megawati Sukarnoputri and Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, who serve an average of 13 sentences per year.

The penal system in force in Indonesia still provides for the death penalty. Although the government and the DPR have amended the Penal Code (KUHP) inherited from Dutch colonialism in Law No. 1 of 2023 regarding the Criminal Code. It is interesting to note that the well-known National Criminal Code does not make the death penalty a principal crime. But by stating that the death penalty can be imposed alternatively and not primarily.

Imparsial Deputy Director Ardi Manto counted 517 death sentences handed down during the nearly 10 years of President Joko Widodo's (Jokowi) presidency. He said that during Jokowi's first term (2014-2019), 221 death sentences were handed down, and during the second term (2019-2024), 296 death sentences were handed down.

In fact, between January and June 2024, three death sentences were handed down. On average, 57 death sentences were handed down each year during President Jokowi's almost ten years in office. This number exceeds the average of death sentences handed down during the previous four administrations led by BJ Habibie, Abdurrahman Wahid, Megawati Soekarnoputri and Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, which was 13 sentences per year.

Ironically, the death sentence was handed down amid a fragile criminal justice system in Indonesia. Ardi said it is common for the public to hear the terms legal mafia, corrupt law enforcement and authorities using torture to extract information or confessions from suspects. The sentence handed down in such a situation is obviously very dangerous, as the death penalty deprives humans of their basic right to life.

“It is very dangerous because the risk of wrongful convictions is very high,” he said during a discussion on the theme of the 165 Indonesian citizens threatened with the death penalty abroad and the provisions derived from the Penal Code concerning the death penalty, Sunday (6/30/2024) yesterday.

Ardi gave the example of a head swap in a drug case in Tanjung Priok, where a person with the same name was accused of being a trafficker. Then there was the case of torture inflicted by police officers on Zulfiqar Ali in an attempt to force him to confess. Next, Zainal Abidin, where the judicial review process (PK) he submitted was delayed for 10 years until he was finally executed.
