AHY's response to Anas Urbaningrum's release from prison
Anas Urbaningrum will be released from his prison term at Sukamiskin Prison, Bandung City, West Java, today, Tuesday (11/4/2023).
Anas, who is also the former chairman of the Democratic Party, plans to return to the world of politics, which has made a name for himself.
In this regard, the general chairman of the Democratic Party, Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono (AHY), only answered briefly when asked about Anas' freedom.
The freedom of Anas, who was also convicted of the corruption case at the Hambalang Athlete's House, has nothing to do with him.
"Firstly there was no response, secondly it has nothing to do with me," said Agus in response with a smile after the activity in Bogor, West Java, Monday (10/4/2023).
Furthermore, Agus responded curtly to questions about the possibility of Anas returning to the Democratic Party.
"(It is possible that Anas will return to the Democrats), just ask the person concerned," he replied.
As previously reported, the former chairman of the Democratic Party's Central Leadership Council (DPP), Anas Urbaningrum, will be released from the Sukamiskin Penitentiary (Lapas), Bandung, West Java, Tuesday (11/4/2023).
Head of Public Relations and Protocol Section of the Directorate General of Corrections (Ditjen Pas), Rika Aprianti, said Anas would be released if he met a number of requirements, such as health.
"Even if it meets the requirements, it has already been checked by the prison as well, then Anas' release will be carried out tomorrow," Rika said in a statement, Monday (10/4/2023).
Rika said that Anas was released because he got the leave integration program before he was released.
Thus, Anas no longer has the status of an inmate, but is a client of the Penitentiary Agency (Bapas).
"In the framework of the leave integration program ahead of release," said Rika.
