The tribunal was set to take place the following year, but due to the Covid-19 pandemic and time constraints, it was pushed back to November 2022.
Aban Tribunal invited a panel of six internationally renowned lawyers, chaired by Wayne Jordash.
The panel consisted of Elham Saudi, Nursyahbani Katjasungkana, Carla Ferstman, Zak Yacoob and Colleen Rohan.
In the years prior, evidence had been gathered by researchers and the counsel, led by Hamid Sabi and Regina Paulose.
Due to the wide coverage, over a hundred people came forward and contacted the tribunal, wishing to give testimonies.
[6][7] The evidence was tried against accusations of crimes against humanity, encompassing murder, torture, sexual assault, false imprisonment and enforced disappearance of protestors and bystanders during the nationwide November 2019 protests.
The panel also found that these crimes were not only planned, but their commission was concealed, through the nationwide shutdown of the internet and silencing of victims and their families.
The judgement concluded with a set of recommendations, including establishing an independent investigation, ceasing all forms of intimidation, harassment and reprisal against those involved, and to remove all laws and practices which infringe human rights.
