Controversy Defendant So Candidates
Parliament plenary session in the House of Representatives on Monday, July 7, 2003 Presidential Election finally pass the bill into law the Presidential Election. Bangyak the rate law was born as the result of political bargaining between the several interests of the Party elite, each of which has a defect in the terms proposed in the bill before the Presidential Election.
Mensikapi passage of the bill into law has turned out to be momentum also by some political elites to dramatize the passage of the bill in a manner that can be said to be half his personal insights as he campaigned saying, "the problem return it to the people, because people are smart enough to elect the President directly, for example in-Pilkades Pilkades made during this ". Perhaps these comments have a point. People already have experience in the Village Head Election (Pilkades) in his village. And people already have experience in looking at the doings of the village chief as a candidate prior to Pilkades, among others:
1). People visited by someone (jurkam) from one of the contestants are asked to vote-so image by giving reward money and gratitude; 2). Then people visited again by someone other than the other contestants, also requested that he would mecoblos porn pictures with cash rewards greater, 3). People have enough experience in a pragmatic attitude amid difficult burden they face, which should take precedence of how to sustain life, or upholding the values of civilization.;
Even if seen from the development experience during this Pilkades people may not give a damn about who will lead this country, because that is important for people aspiring leaders can prosper. The defendant was talking about legal nomenclature should be assessed separately from the glass-eyes of the law. People do not feel urgent to assess and draw conclusions or take a stand against him. Throughout history there are supposedly people still give respect to the Pitung Jago Betawi also referred to as "Maling Budiman", or as his Rhobin Hoot Indonesia, where their actions are justified by the people that robbed the property of the Company or a rich merchant-traders are cheating and treason, because the results rampokannya always distributed to the poor who suffer. Speaking of the "defendant" in fact we all have the potential to become a "defendant" because kometmen we have been very questionable morals in the life of nation and state. Perhaps many of us save the errors that can be categorized as an act of unlawful conduct even criminal, just may not have been caught and questioned people, we still survived. The words of the defendant "should not be used as a tool to perform character assassination (Caracter Assasination) or the said defendants do not also socialized into a social allergy must be addressed with cynicism. Was not Nelson Mandela in South Africa that former inmates can be president of South Africa even though it's been the former president, Mandela was still honored by most South Africans. In our country if we uphold the rule of law sportsmanship position that carried a person accused can not be said he was guilty so we have taken unwittingly punishing attitude towards self-defendant.
Presumtion principle of innocence (presumption of innocence) as defined in Article 8 of Law No.14/1970 concerning Basic Provisions for Judicial Authority, namely: "all persons suspected, arrested, detained, prosecuted and / or appear before the court, wajiab be presumed innocent before the court stating his mistakes and have the force of the permanent ". And also affirmed in Article 18 paragraph (1) Law No.39/1999 on Human Rights Mamusia (HAM), namely: "any person who is arrested, detained, and prosecuted for alleged criminal act done something right to be presumed innocent until proved guilty legally in a court of law had all the guarantees necessary for his defense, in accordance with the provisions of legislation ". On the basis of this provision, the people must be taught to adults do not denounce a "defendant" let alone asked to determine punitive attitude toward "the defendant" by turning off the rights of the accused are still there.
Politicians / political elite should understand the law, menimal understand about the rights of the accused and not make a "defendant" a political commodity, do not look for popularity on the destruction of other people (political opponents). Departing from the legal principle of presumption of innocence, as well as under article 8 of Law No.14/1970 and Article 18 paragraph (1) Law No.39/1999, then it can be justified by law a "defendant" became a presidential candidate, any candidate in in government structures or prospective chairman of the High Institution other State in this Republic. If the country is consistently upholding the rule of law, it must be enforceable legal rights of a person as a whole and complete.
