Among the number, the police were the institution people had complained about most," Komnas-HAM Chief, Ifdal Kasim, said at a meeting with members of the House of Representatives from Commission III.
Ifdhal said the Commission received a total of 1,262 complaints from the people against the police during the 2011 period. He said the number was an indication that supervision by the police`s internal affairs did not run well.
"If not handled properly, the number of violations by the police will keep growing," he said.
