REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA -- Minister of Law and Human Rights Yasonna Laoly declined the allegation that there are drug mafias within the correctional institutions that are being protected.

"Of course not, we have brought the National Police Chief and the Anti-Drug Agency's Chief to Nusakambangan yesterday. We have prepared areas that are completed with high-technology surveillance system for drug dealers there," he said in the Vice Presidential office in Jakarta, Thursday.
