Galih Pakuan Center to Host 79th Indonesian Independence Day Celebration with Attendance of Former Terrorism Inmates
Bogor (August 2, 2024) -
The Ministry of Social Affairs (MoSA) will celebrate the 79th anniversary of
Indonesia's Independence with a variety of events at its headquarters and
centers throughout Indonesia. One such event will take place at the Technical
Implementation Unit (UPT) of the Galih Pakuan Center in Bogor, where the
celebration will be attended by former terrorism inmates.
To prepare for the event, Acting
Director General of Social Rehabilitation Pepen Nazaruddin held a meeting with
the center's heads and staff. “According to the instruction from the Minister
of Social Affairs, we will hold a flag ceremony here involving former inmates,”
said Pepen Nazaruddin, accompanied by the Head of Galih Pakuan Center,
Rinto Indratmoko, on Friday (August 2, 2024).
Given the significance of this
79th Independence Day celebration, preparations must be made as thoroughly as
possible, including infrastructure support. “For this, we will collaborate
with the National Counter-Terrorism Agency (BNPT), as they are the agency that
directly handles former terrorism inmates,” he explained.
Previously, MoSA had collaborated
with BNPT through the identification and recommendation of data from BNPT to
MoSA, as outlined in the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between MoSA and
BNPT Number 1 of 2018.
This institutional cooperation aims to restore the social functions of former terrorism inmates by
providing social assistance to their families.
