the High Court of Pekanbaru and remains sentenced to death, but the verdict
is no longer based on the criminal acts of Article 340 of the Criminal Code,
instead of doing so Article 365 (4) of the Criminal Code (4) of the Criminal Code

was appointed by the Tanjung Karimun Hall District Court for
advocating for the petitioners not to be found. make the memory of the cassation and
The Panimmune Hall of the Court of State Court did not help

direct legal force fixed (inkracht van gewijsde) after passing
deadlines filing memory cases as provisions Section 248
paragraph (1) and paragraph (2) KUHAP; 9. That the death penalty is clearly detrired to the interests and rights of
the constitutionality of the applicant's right to live and retain the life which is guaranteed and protected by the 1945 Constitution. And if later on the petitioners are executed, then
there is a breach of the permissions of the applicant which is expressly guaranteed by Article 28A and Article 28I the paragraph (1) of the 1945 Constitution;
10. That under Article 51 of the letter MK bill, the party that has legal
standing as the applicant in the Constitutional Court is personal
5
the citizens of Indonesia whose rights and/or its constitutional authority
are harmed by the enactment of Undang-Undang; 11. Related to the presence of constitutional rights and/or constitutitional authority,
Putermination Number 006/PUU-III/2005 Constitutional Court ruling that the loss of the rights and/or constitutional authority should meet the five condition, that is: a. the rights and/or constitutional authority of the applicant
provided by UUD 1945;
b. the right and/or constitutional authority by the applicant
is considered harmed by the expiring Act
testing;
c. The constitutional loss must be specific (special) and
actual or at least a potential that is according to the reasoning that
reasonable is certain to occur;
d. (causal verband) connection between the loss

the first term has been met with the guarantee of a right of life and
maintaining the life provided by Article 28A and Article 28I of the paragraph
(1) UUD 1945 to the petitioners. By virtue of the threat
the death penalty of Article 365 of the paragraph (4) of the Criminal Code as a verdict imposed
to the Competent Petitioners still although not
executed must be severely harmed the petitioners As
is required by the second term above. The third requirement that
constitutional losses must be specific and actual or potential
according to the reasoning will be the case with a death sentence against
The petitioners make the right of life of the petitioners very potential
to be broken. And related to the necessity of causality

the fourth can be proven by the enactment of the death penalty provisions in

in Section 365 of the paragraph (4) of the Penal Code may make the Applicant who has
sentenced to death even if not executed to be severely harmed,
for the nature of life that the constitution has guaranteed to be. The dreary.
As well as the necessity of the possibility that it obscured
the application, then the constitutional loss as the postured will not
or no longer occurs as a fifth term, is very clear to have fulfilled,
as it was granted the a quo plea definitely could cause
The constitutional loss of the applicant for life will not happen;
12. As such, the applicant who is an Indonesian who
has been sentenced to death and has a legal force fixed by the Court
although not yet executed has a legal position (legal standing) for act as the party or the applicant in request judicial review a quo, as provided in Section 51 paragraph (1) MK Act as well as the establishment of the Constitutional Court in Putermination Number 006 /PUU-III/2005 as the description above (vide proof P-1 s.d proof P-4);
III. THE REASONS FOR THE APPLICATION OF THE MATERIEL TEST
ARTICLE 365 PARAGRAPH (4) KUHP AGAINST ARTICLE 28A AND 28I PARAGRAPH (1) UUD 1945
13. That based on the verdict of the Court of Appeals that
a force of law remains as we have mentioned above
that the petitioners were sentenced to death, for committing a criminal offence
Article 365 of the paragraph (4) The Penal Code, which is the un: Ibid, the Redaksi of PT. New Ichtiar
Van Hoeve, Set Of Indonesian Republican Legislation
(Compiled According To Engelbrecht System), page 1410-1411: "Threated by a death or criminal for life or for a period of time." time
certain most longer twenty years, if the deed resulted in a wound
weight or death and is performed by two or more persons with
aligned, accompanied by one of the things extend in numbers
1 ° and 3 ° "
As for the sound of the number 1 ° and Number 3 ° referred to in Section 365 of the paragraph
(4) above is:
7
"if the deed is done at night time in a house or
the enclosed driveway that is home, on the public road, or in the carriage
the running fire or tram"
" when the guilty one goes into the scene of committing a crime by taming
or climbing or by wearing a fake key child, a false order or
the fake office clothes "
14. That the death penalty dropped to the applicant
represents the maximum threat from the criminal offence of Article 365 of the paragraph (4) of the Criminal Code
which in this case we tested with the provisions of Article 28A and Article 28I
paragraph (1) of the 1945 Constitution which reads:
Article 28A:
"Everyone has the right to live, as well as for the right to retain
life and life"
Article 28I paragraph (1):
" Right to life, right to not be tortured, freedom of mind and heart
conscience, religious rights, rights to be enslaved, the right to be recognized as
personal before the law, and to not be prosecuted on the basis of laws that
apply receding is human rights that cannot be reduced in
any circumstances ".
15. In spite of the dissent from the Expert on the efficacy
the phrase "cannot be reduced under any circumstances" in respect of the provisions
Article 28A and Article 28I paragraph (1) the 1945 Constitution on top of which is linked
with Article 28J (2) The paragraph (2) of the 1945 Constitution or the difference of opinion
in connection with the interpretation of the right to life (right to life) in
the international instrument of the law is whether absolute as non derogable right
or not as listed in Article 3 DUHAM and
forth, we argue that the right to life it is the right
that is very important and very fundamental to the human being
The application must be required instead of other rights as
which is outlined by Article 28I (1) of the Constitution of 1945; 16. In connection with the case of a quo that the penalty threat provision
the death of Article 365 of the paragraph (4) of the Criminal Code is a provision that
inconstitutionals to the provisions of Article 28I and Article 28A paragraph (1) of the Constitution
1945 granting rights live for a person, if connected
8
with the provisions of Article 28J paragraph (2) of the Constitution of 1945 which provides
the limitation of the Act on a person's right, due to the act
criminal Article 365 paragraph (4) of the Criminal Code as a criminal offence " theft with
violence " not
is the most serious crime to be punished
death as required/constrained by the incasu Act Article 6
paragraph (2) ICCPR (International Convenant On Civil And Political Rights) which
has passed through Act No. 12 of 2005 on
International Convenant On Civil And Political Rights
(International Convenan on the Rights of Pill And Politics):
" In countries which have not been met the death penalty, sentence of death
may be imposed only for the most serious crimes in accordance with the law
in force at the time of the commission of the crime and not contrary to the
provisions of the present Covenant and to the Convention on the Prevention
and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. This penalty can only be carried
out pursuant to a final judgement by a competent court ".
17. Article 365 felon (4) of the Criminal Code as a felony "theft
with an allied force resulting in an allied force resulting in grave or death wounds"
not as "the most serious crime" due to such a felony
not criminal acts that "adversarily affect the economic, cultural and
political foundation of society" and carry " a danger of incalculable

With the reasons at its point as follows:

[3.8] weighed that by basing on Article 51 of the paragraph (1) MK Act
and the Court's ruling on legal standing (legal standing)
as well as being associated with the losses experienced by the petitioners,
Court:
The applicant has the constitutional right granted by the Constitution of 1945,
in particular Article 28A and Article 28I of the paragraph (1) of the 1945 Constitution, as well as the applicant
consider the constitutional right to be harmed by the Invitation-
Invite to be tested;
Constitutional loss The applicant is specific (specifically) and actual;
There is a causal relationship (causal verband) between the intended loss
and the enactment of the testing Act, as well as there
the possibility that with the The application has been granted. The loss
constitutional as the postured will not be or no longer occurs;
Based on such consideration, the Court of opinion, the applicant
has a legal position (legal standing) to apply for a quo;
[3.9] Draw that Because the Court of Justice is prosecuting
the plea a quo, and the applicant has a legal standing (legal
standing), next the Court will consider the subject;
Subject
Court opinion
[3.10] Stated that before considering the subject matter,
The court needs to quote Article 54 of the MK Act stating, "Court
Constitution can request a caption and/or the corresponding meeting treatises
with a moderate plea inspected to the Consultative Assembly
People, DPR, Regional Representative Council, and/or President" in conducting
the testing of an Act. In other words, the Court may
request or not to request the captions and/or meeting treatises in respect of
with the application being checked out to the Consultative Assembly
People, House of Representatives, Council The Regional Representative, and/or the President,
depends on the urgency and relevance. Due to the legal issues and
a plea a quo was clear, the Court saw no urgency and
19
its relevance for requesting the captions and/or meeting treatises of the Assembly
People's Consultative Assembly, House of Representatives, House of Representatives,
and/or the President, so the Court directly breaks the plea. a quo;
[3.11] weighed that after the Court examined with the same witness
a request for a quo and the evidence of the papers submitted by the petitioners,
The court argued for the following:
[3.11.1] That the Applicant implores the constitutionality of testing of Article 365 of the paragraph (4) The Penal Code that states:
Article 365 paragraph (4) of the Criminal Code:
" Endangered by a death or a lifetime prison criminal or
for a certain time most of the twenty years, if the deed
resulting in heavy or dead wounds and done by two or
more by allied, also accompanied by one of the things that are explained
in number 1 and 3 ".
The article, according to the applicant, conflicting with Article 28A and
Article 28I paragraph (1) of the 1945 Constitution;
[3.11.2] That the The applicant is a convict who is sentenced to death by the Pekanbaru High Court for committing a criminal act as
determined in Article 365 of the paragraph (4) KUHP. The provisions of the death of the criminal death
in Article 365 of the paragraph (4) of the Criminal Code (4) of the Applicant is a provision
that is unconstitutional to the provisions of Article 28A and Article 28I of the paragraph (1) of the Constitution
1945 giving one's life rights;
[3.11.3] That against constitutional testing Article 365 paragraph (4) of the Criminal Code is related to the death penalty against Article 28A and Article 28I of paragraph (1)
The Constitution of 1945, the applicant postulate that a criminal offence
with allied violence resulting in heavy or dead injuries
not is the most serious crime (the most serious crime) that can
be charged with death. According to the Court, a felony theft with
violence that resulted in people's death included a serious crime
(the most serious crime), as the crime raised fears that
is overwhelming on the society, which is the same as fear of the aftermath of
drugs. Because his evil deeds have caused the same psychological effect.
20
then it is reasonable while the threat of the pidation is the same. The criminal threat
against both crimes is expected to elicits the effect of jera and
prevention for committing crimes both for the defendant and for the
society.
A death criminal threat to the crime of theft with violence
it is not the only criminal threat, but it is
one of the alternatives of two other alternatives, namely the criminal threat of a lifetime
or during any given time the most of twenty years. Thus the judge
may choose the alternative to the death penalty in accordance with the weight or
of the crimes committed;
[3.11.4] That it is related to the right of life which cannot be reduced in circumstances. any (non derogable rights) postured the applicant, the Court
has dropped the Number 2-3/PUU-V/2007 Decree, dated 30 October 2007
and has given legal consideration to Article 28A and Article 28I
paragraph (1) The 1945 Constitution, among other things, " ... that is seen from an original perspective of intent
forming the Constitution of 1945, all human rights listed in Chapter XA
UUD 1945 the objection can be limited. Original intent-forming the Constitution of 1945
which stated that human rights can be limited also was amplified by
The placement of Section 28J as a closing section of all provisions
set about the rights Human rights in Chapter XA UUD 1945. Thus,
systematic interpretation (systematische interpretatie), human rights that
is set in section 28A to Article 28I Constitution of 1945 subject to
the restrictions set out in Article 28J of the Constitution 1945. System systematics
regarding human rights in the 1945 Constitution in line with systematics
settings in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights which also put
sections on the restrictions on fundamental rights human as the concluding chapter
29 verse (2) reads, " In the exercise of his rights and freedoms, everyone
shall be subject only to such limitations as are determined by law laws for the
purpose of securing due recognition and respect for the rights and freedoms of
others and of meeting the just requirements of morality, public order and the
general welfare in a democratic society. " Thus, according to the Court,
The death penalty as a form of human rights restrictions has been justified
constitutionally or based on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
(Universal Declaration of Human Rights);
21
[3.11.5] That by section 28A and Article 28I the paragraph (1) of the Constitution of the 1945 Constitution of the Petitioners is the stone which is also a stone
