Komnas HAM seeks UGM CCTV in probe of Nov. 10 protest unrest in Yogya

Komnas HAM has requested copies of CCTV recordings from several locations, including those belonging to Universitas Gadjah Mada, to investigate the unrest that followed the Nov. 10 demonstration in Yogyakarta. Komnas HAM Chair Anis Hidayah said the footage is needed to map crowd movement, identify events during the protest, and examine allegations that officers entered the campus area. The team is also tracing where water cannon and tear gas were deployed, which were reportedly fired toward the UGM area. In addition to a scene investigation outside the DIY DPRD Office, the Yogyakarta Monument area, and the UGM Roundabout, Komnas HAM is collecting data on students who were injured and detained. The commission has taken statements from students and Polda DIY, and is scheduled to meet UGM Rector Ova Emilia and visit hospitals and victim support groups.
