ROHMAT SELAMAT.SH.M.Kn POSBAKUM PWRI, VISIT FARMERS ACCUSED THINGS IN OWNER'S LAND

North Morowali – The Advocates Team for the Association of Journalists of the Republic of Indonesia (POSBAKUM. PWRI) led by Advocate Rohmat Selamat, SH, M.Kn, visited the Gusman family, in Koroasu Village, Mori Atas District, North Morowali Regency, on Friday 03 September 2021.

Gusman is a farmer who was arrested for being accused of stealing fruit on his own land.

In addition to Rohmat Selamat, the PWRI Posbakum advocate team who also accompanied were Advocate Rubby Falahadi, SH and Advocate Ahmad Muhibbulah, SH.

When confirmed by the media crew, Gusman revealed that he did not commit the theft as alleged.

"That whatever is on my land, it belongs to me and I need to emphasize here I did not steal, because the palm fruit that I took was a plant that was on my land where the land certificates, PBB were there," said Gusman, Friday (03/09/2021)

Still in the same place, to the media crew, the Advocates Team for the Indonesian Journalists Association, said that they had received answers to questions related to proof of land ownership rights.

"Today, we have received answers to our questions regarding evidence of land ownership rights that the Gusman family of farmers owns the legality of the land and pays official taxes to the State on the land. This should be a civil matter, not a criminal case because it is related to a land dispute and for this problem, our PWRI Advocate Team will continue to bring this case to the National Police Headquarters in Jakarta and coordinate with IPW, Human Rights, Ombusdman, Polda, along with elements of the relevant legal parties, we continue to monitor until this problem is really clear,” said Advocate Rohmat Selamat, SH, M.Kn.

"That this case, which should not be a criminal but a civil land dispute, should have PT ANA (Agro Nusa Abadi) show proof of ownership of the land to the community, in which the community, including the Gusman farmer, also has the right to the land, "said Advocate Rohmat Selamat, SH, M.Kn.
