Amnesty International Indonesia has condemned the presence of the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI) at the trial of former Minister of Education Nadiem Makarim, arguing it intimidates civilian witnesses and violates constitutional principles. The organization is calling for the government to end the TNI's involvement in civilian courts, asserting that their presence is unnecessary. Makarim faces corruption charges related to a Rp2.1 trillion procurement scandal involving Chromebook laptops, with military support requested by the prosecutor's office for protection.
