“The compensation can be requested by the victims, their families, heirs, or guardian to the Witness and Victim Protection Agency.”

Prior to the Rp 39.2 trillion state fund, the Indonesian government had also compensated victims of the Oikumene Church bombing in 2016 and the Thamrin bomb attack in the same year.

The Indonesian President also noted compensation for those affected by the North Sumatra Police Station attack in 2017, the Kampung Melayu attack in 2017, and the Sibolga terror act last year among other heinous events.
