Politics is for the state, while the state gives a noble position for degrees and human justice.

"However, if we are to respect human rights within the framework of a sovereign and independent country?" said Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court (MK) Mahfud MD in the event of the 12th anniversary of Soegeng Sarjadi Syndicate in Jakarta, Monday (28/1) afternoon.

It said Mahfud, issues of independence as stated in the Preamble of the 1945 Constitution can be considered complete. The big question that is being faced by Indonesia today is respect for human rights.

"Sovereign formally already, but what is the benefit to the nation? To strive today is human rights. Justice does not exist, really have to be enforced, "said Mahfud in a ceremony attended by a number of national figures, including former Vice President Jusuf Kalla, former Vice President Try Sutrisno, band personnel ‘Slank’ Kaka, Bimbim, and others.

It is more pathetic, more Mahfud, due to the enforcement of justice, then people become afraid to do 

Related human rights Indonesia, Mahfud Bejo tells the story of Wonosari, Yogyakarta, although only as an illustration of allusions to the enforcement of human rights in our country.

"There is a famous story among law enforcement, his story about living in Wonosari, someone named Bejo. He was asked authorities about his tenure. ‘It’s anybody home? Got a letter home, no?” said Mahfud began his story.

Asked authorities, said Mahfud, Bejo admitted that he built his house upon the ground state and does not have the official letter. Then Bejo being expelled and he moved into a new house and then repeated, was expelled for a second until the third time since setting up home in the ground state and has no legal letters home. Until finally Bejo complained of his fate, his life is not independent in the already independent.

"Do not underestimate the younger children as ‘Slank’. They are productive in the creative economy. The songs they did not forget the problems of the nation and encouraged the nation. I was old even wants to learn their songs. Young children like they actually still turn up we are," explained Soegeng.

Soegeng continued, giving young people hope for the nation, amid high public pessimism towards young people who are stuck in a dirty and corrupt politics. Thus was confirmed by Soegeng when closing speech. (Nano Tresna Arfana / mh)
