According to Rompas, the death of the deceased Dufi has a common thread with all the actions of the Press Council which have not been able to provide protection for the press.
"The Press Council did not show a clear performance to protect Indonesian journalists, so there was no legal protection for Indonesian journalists. "In fact, the Press Council seemed to protect the parties who felt disadvantaged by the news, and that it had an impact on the more courageous individuals involved in carrying out acts of violence against journalists as a reaction to the news that was considered detrimental," explained Rompas.
Rompas also professionally criticized sharply the performance of the Press Council which seemed to pass through the omission of various cases of violence against journalists in Indonesia. Legal actions that are appropriate for the treatment of violence against journalists almost never exist.
"The Press Council should have an active role in voicing resistance to violence against journalists, because the uncivilized treatment was very bad for the development of press freedom in Indonesia," Rompas added.
According to the Committee to Protect Journalist (CJP), there were 11 journalists in Indonesia who were killed between 1996 and 2012. And Dufi's death added to the death of journalists in Indonesia due to 13 journalists, after the death of journalist Muhammad Yusuf in a detention cell in South Kalimantan , on June 10, 2018 ago.
