Malang, FH UB – A Legal Study and Research Forum (FKPH), which is the organization at the Faculty of Law, Universitas Brawijaya (FH UB), held a Research Dissemination activity with the theme “Flashback on the Kanjuruhan Tragedy: Study of the Light Sentences of the Kanjuruhan Tragedy Defendants” on Wednesday, June 31, 2023, which was held online through Zoom Meeting.
This activity is one of the work programs of the FKPH External Studies Sub-Sector to disseminate and present the results of research on legal issues regarding “Flashback to the Kanjuruhan Tragedy: Study of the Light Sentences of the Kanjuruhan Tragedy Defendants.” This dissemination activity was open to the public and attended by more than 70 participants from various regions in Indonesia.
This dissemination activity started with the presentation of the research results in the form of a policy brief by presenters from the FKPH class of 2022, who were divided into a group of four people, including Muhammad Rayhan Al Fatir, Ahmad Zidna Hilmy, Muhammad Ihsan Anugrah Perdana, and Heren Puja Desfitra. Based on the research results, it was determined that the acquittal of the Kanjuruhan defendant had several irregularities.
“In the trial of the Kanjuruhan Tragedy case, the attorney for the defendant was the police. This, of course, violates the applicable provisions that the attorney of the defendant must have the certification specified in the law,” said Rayhan Al Fatir, one of the presenters of the dissemination.
Apart from that, there were several other irregularities, including the lack of victim testimony because witnesses were dominated by security forces, trials were limited, reconstruction was not carried out at the location, the deletion of CCTV evidence, and other irregularities that affected the outcome of the trial in the Kanjuruhan Tragedy case.
The agenda was continued with corrections and criticism of research results by Ardi Ferdian, S.H., M.Kn., as a reviewer who is also a Lecturer in Criminal Law at FH UB. Based on the results of this presentation, the reviewer provided notes to the presenters both materially and formally as evaluation and learning materials for the presenters.

Ardi Ferdian, S.H., M.Kn., hopes that this activity can be a reference for law faculty students throughout Indonesia in studying and analyzing legal issues, especially legal issues that need to be studied through in-depth research.
“Through this research dissemination agenda, it is hoped that it can become a forum for Law Faculty students to be more enthusiastic about studying legal issues in Indonesia,” explained Ardi.
