"Journalists are protected by the law in carrying out their journalistic activities. No one is allowed to hamper journalists from covering an event, let alone attacking them, destroying nor confiscating their equipment," Indra of the Prosperous Justice Party Faction (FPKS) of the House of Representatives (DPR) said here on Wednesday.
He said that the attack on journalists by soldiers of the Air Force in Kampar District, Riau province, was an arrogant and unprofessional act shown by certain individuals of the Air Force personnel.
"There is no reason to justify arrogant and violent acts and the military police should investigate it," Indra said.
He said that his side urged the Indonesian Defense Forces (TNI) Commander to take stern actions against his subordinates who did the maltreatment.(IGT)
