A new joint investigation by the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) and Free Press Unlimited (FPU) finds “major flaws” in how Indonesian authorities handle the case involving journalist Rico Sempurna Pasaribu, who was killed in a deadly arson attack along with his family. The report is released ahead of the second anniversary of the attack and focuses on deficiencies in the investigation and related case handling. According to the CPJ and FPU summary, the findings raise concerns about whether the case is effectively pursued and whether accountability is achieved. The outlets describe the revelations as serious and connected to a broader pattern of weak progress in ending impunity for crimes against journalists. The report’s key message is that investigators and officials did not address crucial issues adequately, which could affect the outcome of the case and the ability to identify responsible parties and deliver justice. The CPJ and FPU do not claim to rewrite the full case details in the provided text, but they characterize the investigative record as insufficient and emphasize the need for corrective action to ensure proper accountability.
