www.bioztv.id - The Trenggalek PGRI Legal Consultation and Aid Institute (LKBH PGRI) has confirmed that there will be no "legal lobbying" in the case of violence against Eko Prayitno, a teacher at SMP Negeri 1 Trenggalek. LKBH PGRI, which is representing the victim, emphasized that no party lobbied law enforcement officials in handling this case. They ensure that law enforcement officials processed the case thoroughly, according to procedure, and transparently. "We emphasize that there was no lobbying or intervention from any party. PGRI has been supporting the victim from the beginning and fully overseeing the legal process to ensure it runs professionally and fairly," said Haris Yudhianto, Chairman of LKBH PGRI Trenggalek, to reporters on Friday (November 7, 2025). LKBH PGRI Closely Monitors Case to Completion Haris explained that his team accompanied Eko Prayitno through every stage of the investigation, including when investigators conducted further questioning at the Trenggalek Police Station. During the additional questioning, investigators asked the victim to provide detailed information, including a sketch of the scene and photographs of the chronology of the beating in front of her house. "Yesterday's additional questioning focused on the crime scene investigation and detailed chronology, as the incident occurred in the victim's yard. We submitted all the data and information in full," Haris explained. He emphasized that the LKBH PGRI continues to monitor the work of law enforcement officers while maintaining trust in the process. "We believe in the legal process, but we also monitor it to ensure it is fair. We do not allow for intervention or negotiation outside the legal framework," he asserted. Legal Facts: The Process Cannot Be Stopped Haris emphasized that cases of violence against teachers are general crimes, not complaint offenses. Therefore, authorities will continue to process the case even if the victim forgives or withdraws the report. He said that many members of the public have asked whether the police can stop the case through mediation. However, legally, investigators must continue the process. "Many people ask, can it stop if the victim forgives? The answer is no. This is not a complaint offense, so even if the victim withdraws the report, the case will continue," emphasized Haris, who views this regulation as a form of legal protection for the teaching profession. LKBH PGRI is committed to overseeing this case until it reaches court. Haris wants to ensure that this case serves as an important lesson for the community, while also emphasizing that acts of violence against educators are serious violations that undermine the prestige of the education sector. Case Context Eko Prayitno, an arts and culture teacher at SMPN 1 Trenggalek, was beaten by Awang Krisna Aji Pratama, the older brother of a student whom Eko had reprimanded for using his cell phone in class. The police named Awang as a suspect and charged him with Article 351 paragraph (1) of the Criminal Code concerning assault.
