While seven other cases are now in the Attorney General, but the state institutions have not made the improvement of the status of the seven cases into the investigation, until now.
"Due to the condition that, now the case is so political consumption to gain a voice in the presidential election," said Laila.
The seven cases of gross human rights violations - the violence at Trisakti, Semanggi I and II, Talangsari, enforced disappearances, mysterious shooting (Petrus), post G30S/PKI massacres, and riots in May 1998.
According to Laila, the new government under the leadership of the newly elected president will be announced on July 22, 2014 must have a good faith resolution of the case.
He explained, there are two ways you can do the president - judicial settlement, and the settlement of non-judicial.
