Jakarta Military Court Convicts Four in Acid Attack on Rights Defender Andrie Yunus

Four military personnel received convictions from the Jakarta Military Court on June 10, 2026, for their involvement in an acid attack against human rights defender Andrie Yunus. While the verdict is acknowledged, concerns persist regarding the leniency of the imposed sentences.

On June 10, 2026, the Jakarta Military Court found four military personnel guilty in connection with an acid attack targeting human rights defender Andrie Yunus. The convictions mark a legal development in the case.

The International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH) and the World Organisation Against Torture (OMCT), operating under the Observatory for the Protection of Human Rights Defenders, acknowledged the court's decision.

However, both organizations voiced disappointment over the perceived leniency of the penalties handed down to those responsible for the assault. They have called upon Indonesian authorities to ensure further accountability.

Indonesian authorities must ensure full accountability for attacks against human rights defenders.
