President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo’s administration is considering the deployment of the Indonesian Military’s (TNI) special forces to fight terror attacks.

There has been a spate of terror attacks on churches and police offices recently. The first was the incident at the National Police Mobile Brigade headquarters’ (Mako Brimob) detention center in Depok, West Java, in which five police personnel lost their lives. This was followed by the suicide bombings in three churches in Surabaya and an attack at the Riau Police headquarters in Pekanbaru. Experts say that the activities of terror cells across Indonesia are on the rise. Acts of terror clearly violate human rights.
