Abstract

This article discusses a legal analysis of repressive actions by the Mobile Brigade Corps (Brimob) in handling demonstrations in Indonesia. The main focus is directed at the compliance of the authorities' actions with the principles of law enforcement and human rights protection as stipulated in Law Number 39 of 1999 concerning Human Rights. The use of force in demonstrations often raises controversy regarding the limits of authority, the legality of the actions, and the impact on citizens' basic rights such as the right to assemble, express opinions, and obtain protection from arbitrary action. This research uses a normative approach by reviewing laws and regulations, legal literature, and international human rights standards. The analysis results show that Brimob's repressive actions must always be based on legality, necessity, proportionality, and accountability to ensure human rights protection. However, in practice, violations that contradict human rights principles, especially related to the use of excessive force, are still found. This article emphasizes the importance of strengthening regulations, human rights training for officers, and more effective oversight mechanisms.

Abstract

Overcrowding is a pressing issue facing correctional institutions in Indonesia, including Bagan Siapi-api Prison. This situation impacts the quality of guidance, security, health, and the rights of inmates. Restorative justice, an approach that emphasizes restitution and peaceful conflict resolution through agreements between perpetrators, victims, and the community, offers an alternative that can reduce the burden of conventional criminal punishment. This study aims to analyze the implementation of restorative justice as an effort to reduce overcrowding in Bagan Siapi-api Prison. The research method uses a normative and empirical juridical approach. The results show that restorative justice can play a significant role in reducing the number of inmates, especially for minor crimes, although its implementation is still hampered by regulations, resources, and the understanding of law enforcement officials. Key challenges include the need for a shift in the mindset of law enforcement officials, strengthening regulations, providing trained facilitators, and ensuring a voluntary approach for victims. By addressing these challenges through multi-stakeholder commitment, restorative justice can be a transformative solution that not only eases the burden on prisons but also creates more meaningful justice and strengthens social cohesion in Rokan Hilir Regency.
