"(The third violation) is the right to obtain justice. Currently, the law enforcement process does not cover all parties who should be responsible for the implementation of matches and competitions," he said.

Anam said that the fourth violation of human rights is the right to life. The deaths of 135 people in the Kanjuruhan Tragedy are a violation of the right to life.

"(Fifth) right to health. Many people were suddenly injured by the tear gas, whose eyes were red, their legs were broken, shortness of breath, trauma, and so on," he explained.

"(The seventh violation) is a violation of business and human rights. So a business entity that ignores human rights. So he emphasizes business aspects more than human rights aspects," he said.
