Twenty-one families from Semarang in Central Java have filed a lawsuit against President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo over the demolition of their houses by the Indonesian Army.
The lawsuit was filed on Wednesday at Semarang District Court.
“The lawsuit is directed at the President because he is the Army’s highest leader,” the families’ lawyer Josep Parera said, as quoted by tribunnews.com on Thursday.
Josep explained the lawsuit was also directed at the Indonesian Army’s chief, the Army chief of staff and the commander of the Regional Military Command IV in Diponegoro in Central Java.
The families filed the lawsuit, Josep said, because the Army did not have the legal right to demolish their 21 houses, which sat on 6,400 square meters of land that has belonged to the families since the 1950s.
Josep said that the Army had claimed they had to hand over the land to the National Land Agency (BPN).
“Yet, data on the land’s takeover doesn’t exist,” he said.
In the lawsuit, the families have asked for compensation of Rp 21.1 billion (US$1.5 million) in total, including Rp 10.6 billion in material losses.(ika)
