Indonesian National Armed Forces The Semanggi shootings in Jakarta, Indonesia, were two incidents when state troops opened fire on unarmed civilians and protesters during special sessions of parliament.

[2] In November 1998, a Special Session of Indonesia's People's Consultative Assembly (MPR) was convened to decide on a timetable for future national elections.

On 13 November 1998, thousands of students held a sit-down protest near Atma Jaya University and the Semanggi cloverleaf interchange leading to the parliament building.

[3] On 24 September 1999, students in Jakarta and several other cities were protesting a proposed law that would give the Army wider powers in emergency situations.

The DPR (legislators for the 1999–2004 period) in 2000 set up a Special Committee (Pansus) to examine whether the May 1998 Trisakti shootings and the two Semanggi incidents constituted gross violations of human rights.

In June 2003, another military court sentenced an Army Strategic Reserve Command (Kostrad) soldier, Buhari Sastro Tua Putty, for the shooting of Yun Hap at Semnanggi II.

[10] On 28 September 2010, President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono promised to convey the matter to the Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes, but the case did not progress.

[9] Komnas HAM chairman Imdadun Rakhmat in 2016 acknowledged that progress on the case was sluggish, explaining the commission had to be cautious because of "very tough" political conditions.

[9] In January 2020, Jokowi's second Attorney General, ST Burhanuddin, reiterated the claim that the Semanggi shootings were not gross human rights violations.

The Commission for Missing Persons and Victims of Violence (Kontras) questioned how the Attorney General's Office could make such a statement when it had never investigated the killings.
