Jakarta (B2B) - Ketua Presidium Indonesia Police Watch (IPW) Neta S Pane mengatakan aksi teror di Kabupaten Poso, Sulawesi Tengah, semakin berani menyusul terjadinya bom bunuh diri pada Senin pagi.
Neta melalui pernyataan tertulisnya yang diterima Senin (3/6) mengatakan, sikap polisi yang dinilai terlalu represif ternyata disikapi masyarakat dengan aksi nekat.
Menurutnya, sikap polisi yang represif dalam mengatasi masalah, terutama terorisme, ternyata menimbulkan dendam tersendiri bagi sebagian masyarakat terhadap aparat.
Pada 29 Desember 2012, misalnya, lima dari 15 warga Poso yang dibebaskan polisi mengalami lebam-lebam karena dianiaya saat menjalani pemeriksaan selama tujuh hari pascapenembakan anggota Brimob Polda Sulawesi Tengah.
Selain itu, adanya provokasi dari kelompok-kelompok radikal yang masih bercokol di Poso membuat kelompok bersenjata semakin berani dan nekat dalam menebar teror.
"Itu terbukti adanya beberapa anggota polisi yang diculik dan dibunuh," katanya.
Neta juga menduga kelopmpok sipil bersenjata di Kabupaten jumlahnya semakin meningkat.
Secara umum IPW mengaku prihatin atas aksi bom bunuh diri yang terjadi di Polres Poso yang menewaskan pelakunya sendiri.
Jakarta (B2B) - Presidium Chairman of the Indonesia Police Watch (IPW) Neta S Pane said the perpetrators of terror acts in Poso, Central Sulawesi, had become more and more aggressive as reflected in the suicide bombing incident Monday.
Neta said in his written statement made available here Monday that police`s repressive actions turned out to be responded to by the public (radicals) with desperate acts.
He said that repressive police actions in coping with (terror) problems, turned out to have created grudge among certain segment of the people against security officers.
On December 29, 2012, for example, five of the 15 terror suspects who were released by the police suffered from bruising as a result of abuse during their seven-day questioning following the shooting incident of a member of the Mobile Brigade of the Central Sulawesi Regional Police.
Besides, there were still provocations by radical groups in Poso that inspired armed groups to become increasingly emboldened and were desperate in spreading terrors.
"This is proven with the fact that several police members were abducted and murdered," he said.
Neta also suspected that the number of armed civilians in the region was increasing.
He said that the IPW was saddened over the suicide bombing incident at the Poso Police Headquarters which killed the perpetrator.
