TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Coordinator of Commission for the Displaced Persons and Victims of Violence (Kontras), Haris Azhar, said they do not urge that Prabowo Subianto's case is to be resolved in the military court. "We urge that human rights case is to be brought before Human Right Court," Haris told Tempo.

Kontras has been dealing with human rights cases related to the military, added Haris. "We have monitored such cases from back then. Now, its intensity is growing due to technology advancement," said Haris.

As for the demand for the resolution of Prabowo's case, social media plays a major part in it. "Five years ago, when Prabowo was running as a deputy for Megawati, there was no one dispersing the informaton," Haris said. "Now, it is revealed that investigation has taken place. [We] can simply continue that."
