According to the report by the Commission for Missing Persons and Victims of Violence (KontraS), extrajudicial killings continue to occur in Indonesia.

Extrajudicial killings are events where state officials kill someone without going through legal processes and obtaining a valid court verdict.

Based on KontraS' findings, during the period of December 2022-November 2023, there were 31 extrajudicial killing incidents recorded in Indonesia, with a total of 46 victims.

Then in December 2023-November 2024, there were 45 similar incidents with a total of 47 victims.

The same thing happened again in December 2024-November 2025, with 42 incidents and a total of 44 victims.

"The crisis of accountability in law enforcement is still widespread in Indonesia, where a series of extrajudicial killings involving officials continue to occur," said KontraS.

"The National Police and the Indonesian Armed Forces are the main actors," they said.

According to KontraS' findings, there are two key factors or pretexts behind the occurrence of extrajudicial killings.

The first factor is the "measured firm action" taken by officials because they feel their safety is threatened by suspected criminals.

Then the second factor is the shortcut in law enforcement taken by officials to quickly resolve crime cases without going through lengthy and complicated investigation and judicial processes.

"This creates a culture of impunity among officials and undermines the criminal justice system," said KontraS.
