Aktivis anti pungli
Ke sana dan ke sini
Mengungkap kasus korupsi
Kendaraan polisi
Bukanya apresiasi
Banyaknya caci maki
Dari orang berpangkat
Sekarang dia di-bui
Menegakkan keadilan
Malah dipenjarakan
Koruptor di jalanan
Sekarang berkeliaran
Oh Tuhan
Di mana keadilan
Tolong laknat mereka
Orang-orang bajingan
Ganbatte Bang Benni
Imagine if you are arrested without any notice to your family. It feels like living in the old times right?
Benni Eduward is an anti street extortion and corruption activist since 2014. He uploaded every corruption and extortion activity to his Youtube Channel. It turns out, the authorities didn’t like this because this disrupted their income.
In August 2020, Benni Eduward is arrested because he criticized and filed a complaint to the authorities that were not paying taxes and using fake license plates. The netizen highlighted a lot of anomaly in that arrest.
First, in his video, Benni actually did check the license plate numbers through USSD which is the result of the MOU of Polda Sumut and Telkomsel. Benni also check the e-Samsat Badan Pengelolaan Pajak site and Retribusi Daerah Provinsi Sumut. It showed many license plates that were not registered and didn’t pay taxes. But, after his video went viral, the e-Samsat site suddenly couldn’t be accessed. There were issues that it was sabotaged.
Second, Benni reported his findings to Ipda Nanang Kusumo, Kanit I STNK Ditlantas Polda Sumut. Instead of following up the report, Nanang asked Bang Benni to make videos showing the kindness of the police.
Third, a police officer came to Benni’s house and asked to hide the video about the police vehicles license plates.
Another anomaly, his family just received the arrest warrant after reporting the unfair arrest to Komnas HAM. And then, Fitra Aria, Benni’s wife and their children also can’t visit Bang Benni in prison because of COVID19. Even though, family visit is the right of the convict that is protected by HAM. The weird thing is other families are free to visit and they allegedly pay some money. Is the Polresta Medan willing to reveal the CCTV to show that all convicts are treated the same?
As we all know, after being arrested for 3 months, Benni was fired from his company and is having financial difficulties. His family is really affected by this, because they didn’t receive the monthly wages from Bang Benni when he was still working as the Area Sales Manager of PT Suntory Garuda Beverage.
Polresta Medan didn’t just silence the people’s criticism, but also made a family suffer. And the police also confiscated Bang Benni’s belongings that has no relation to the case. While the evidence videos in Bang Benni’s Youtube Channel was gone and couldn’t be watched anymore after his gadget is taken.
Not only that, there are unexpected fees in prison. From room fees, clean water fee, togetherness fee, cleanliness fee, security fee, and other things. All the proof of payments are stored and ready to be publicized once Bang Benni is free.
Other than that, the family also needs financial support for language expert and legal assistance while in prison and in court, which is not cheap.
If any of you want to help, you can donate Rp 10 thousand to saweria.co/savebenni or BRI 735101009515539 (Fitra Aria). Just like buying a cup of coffee, a small price to save a friend, not to mention a country. The donation will be used to pay for Benni’s needs, both in prison and in court. If we can win this trial, Bang Benni will again contribute for Indonesia. Of course we are eager to see Benni once again fighting extortion, corruption, injustice, and the tyranny just like always.
Thank you for your support and attention. It is time for the people to reveal the truth without fear of being criminalized. It is time for Indonesia to be free of thieves and thugs who think they can do anything in this country. Position and rank is not a tool to oppress others.
Hopefully this is the last case. Hopefully there is no more case like ‘Benni Eduward’, arrested for revealing the truth. Hopefully. 40Fz6AdbaG4 |
