Previously, the alleged case of forcing inmates at Enemawira Prison to eat dog meat attracted widespread criticism.
In fact, CommissionMember of Commission XIII DPR RI Mafirion condemned this inhumane act.
According to him, Chandra Sudarto’s actions were a serious violation of human rights and religious freedom.Mafirion asked the Minister of Immigration and Corrections to remove the Chief of Staff and process it legally.
“The action of the Head of Prisons in forcing Muslim inmates to eat food that is clearly prohibited in Islamic teachings is not only an inappropriate act, but also a violation of law and human rights,” he said in a written statement, Thursday (27/11).
Mafirion explained that a number of legal regulations clearly regulate the prohibition of discriminatory acts and blasphemy of religion, such as the Criminal Code (KUHP) Articles 156, 156a, 335, 351.
He also asked law enforcement officials to act quickly so that this case does not escalate into a larger social issue, considering that acts of religious discrimination are very sensitive and have the potential to trigger horizontal conflict.
