Recommendations (A/HRC/7/3/Add.7, para. 7292) victim. 78. As a matter of urgent priority, the period of police custody should be reduced to a time limit in line with international standards (maximum of 48 hours); after this period the detainees should be transferred to a pretrial facility under a different authority, where no further unsupervised contact with the interrogators or investigators should be permitted. Situation during visit Investigating authorities were mostly institutionally linked to suspected perpetrators, and therefore not independent. While the Criminal Procedure Code authorized a maximum length of 61 days only in very specific circumstances, the imposition of such a long period was applied as a standard procedure; Government: Currently, there are no new developments regarding the length of police custody. Government: Detention is regulated by Law No. 8/1981 on Criminal Proceeding Code, particularly Articles 24-29. A warrant of detention or warrant of further detention shall be served on a suspect/an accused who is strongly presumed to have committed an offense based on sufficient evidence. The detention shall meet the following requirements: it shall be preceded by a warrant of detention; a copy of such warrant must be provided to the suspect/the accused person‘s family; such warrant shall only be valid for at the most 20 days. 113 According to Article 29, Section 1, for the purpose of an examination, the period of detention of a suspect/an accused may be extended on the basis of proper and unavoidable reasons, because: the suspect/accused is suffering from a serious physical/mental disturbances as evidenced by a doctor‘s certificate, or the case being examined is liable to A/HRC/19/61/Add.3 Detainees remained under exclusive police authority for a period exceeding many times the maximum period permitted under international law, making abuses more likely, and furthermore rendering the detection of torture significantly more difficult since visible traces were likely to have disappeared once the detainee had been released or transferred. Steps taken in previous years (A/HRC/13/39/Add.6 and Information received in the reporting A/HRC/16/52/Add.2) period of internal and external mechanisms exist Indonesian National Police. in Indonesia to monitor police work, but none of these institutions had the mandate, independence and authority to hold police officers accountable for human rights violations. An independent public complaints board that would guarantee that police officials who violate human rights would be brought to justice and victims receive reparations was still lacking. Komnas Ham can investigate allegations of torture as an independent institution and has the authority to conduct monitoring or inquiries into allegations of torture, but it can only make recommendations.
