TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The East Jakarta district court on Wednesday has setenced the six terrorists responsible for the siege at the Mobile Police Brigade Headquarters (Mako Brimob) in May 2018, with death penalty.
According to the court’s website, the six defendants accepted the verdict and have not declared an appeal.
The six terrorists on death row are Anang Rachman, Suparman alias Maher, Syawaluddin Pakpahan, Suyanto or Abu Izza, Handoko or Abu Bukhori, and Wawan Kurniawan.
The court deemed their actions to be very sadistic and inhumane. They killed five police personnel at the Brimob headquarters and that terrorism is considered in Indonesian law as an extraordinary crime.
The riot took place in the Brimob HQ’s Block C facility on Tuesday evening in May 18, 2018. What sparked the deadly riot was a trivial one that involved food deposits for the inmates.
