The Attorney General’s Office (AGO) is set to reexamine the Semanggi and Trisakti shootings in 1998 and 1999 amid heightening pressure to bring the perpetrators to justice. “I will examine again,” Attorney General Hendarman Supandji was quoted as saying by Detik.com news portal.
Hendarman admitted that the House of Representatives had recommended that the shootings were not gross human rights violations.
He nevertheless said that his office “is ready to break some rules”.
The May 12, 1998, shooting claimed the lives of four Trisakti University students and prompted a large-scale riot in Jakarta, which resulted in the resignation of the then president Soeharto.
Eighteen people were killed in the 1998 and 1999 Semanggi shootings.
