On November 4, 2026, a violent clash occurred in Pulo Keunari Village, Pidie Regency, Aceh, reportedly triggered by TNI/Polri personnel attempting to remove Bulan Bintang flags during Maulid Nabi Muhammad SAW celebrations. The confrontation resulted in the death of one civilian, Abzalul Riza, who was reportedly shot in the chest, and caused injuries to 13 civilians and six TNI personnel. In response, the Indonesian government invited the National Commission on Human Rights (Komnas HAM) to investigate the incident. Coordinating Minister Yusril Ihza Mahendra stated the government is committed to a transparent investigation to uncover the facts. Komnas HAM has since urged TNI Commander General Agus Subiyanto to take decisive action, including potentially removing the unit commander in Aceh. ~~The commission described~~ Komnas HAM member Amiruddin al-Rahab argued that the deployment of armed personnel to confront civilians in a peaceful setting as is unacceptable. ~~Komnas HAM~~ The commission is requesting that all weapons used be secured for ballistic testing and is advocating for a Joint Investigation Team involving government officials and Acehnese community ~~representatives, while also conducting its own~~ representatives. Additionally, PKS legislator Meity Rahmatia has called for an independent ~~investigation.~~ investigation involving the Ministry of Human Rights and Komnas HAM to ensure accountability and maintain public trust.
