Five convicts involved in corruption cases (from the left to right) Waryono Karno, Suryadharma Ali, OC Kaligis, Irman Gusman and Barnabas Suebu attend a Preliminary Session on the Material Testing of Law No. 12 of 1995 concerning Corrections in the Constitutional Court, Jakarta, Thursday (24/8/2017).

The Houses of Representatives (DPR) wants to ease the requirement for the granting of parole to prisoners involved in extraordinary crimes including corruption terrorism, crimes against national security, and narcotics and illegal drug trafficking. The intention can weaken the anti-corruption movement.

In the past, the government said it would not give remission or reduce the sentences of perpetrators of extraordinary crimes. However, in reality, the convicts involved in extraordinary crimes are still able to get remission.
