Melanie Subono's Critical Response Regarding Gisella Anastasia's Status as a Suspect in the Obscene Video Case

Kapanlagi.com - Gisella Anastasia's name is currently back in the public spotlight. This is because she has been named a suspect by the police in the case of a 19-second explicit video that was circulated some time ago. As a result, Gisel is facing a 12-year prison sentence.

Not only netizens, but some artists have also started to speak up about this case, including Melanie Subono. Although she initially did not want to discuss this issue, the 44-year-old woman finally commented because many friends and media asked her about it.

"Here's the thing. When it comes to SIN, I don't know because only GOD has the right to speak. I also have sins. I'm sure everyone who uses social media does too. Most of us do the same thing. Or other sins. Lying to a friend. Anything," Melanie opened up in her lengthy confession on Instagram, Tuesday (29/12).

1. Call Gisel Not Wrong

Furthermore, Melanie discusses the issue of the legal system in Indonesia that raises big question marks in her mind. This German-blooded woman is confused as to why the perpetrator in the video is threatened with a heavier punishment than the spreader.

"Regarding LAW and SYSTEM. What is being spread is a PRIVATE video. For example, if suddenly your friend spreads something private about you, you will definitely be angry. But as long as the content of the private matter does not violate the law, it is not our business and not legally wrong. What is being spread is a PRIVATE video. Why isn't the law heavier on the VIDEO SPREADER?" Melanie asked.

2. Unnamed Man

So far, many media outlets have openly revealed Gisella Anastasia's name, but still provide initials for the male perpetrator. According to Melanie, this is unfair.

"What's even more annoying and demeaning is why the woman is called by her name while the man is only given INITIALS? Even if we know who is in the video, the POLICE, MEDIA, and others should PROTECT the name and still use INITIALS. Or if you want to reveal, Call everyone by their NAMES. Fair," she insisted.

Melanie then emphasized that she did not make the post to defend Gisel. She doesn't even know the mother of one.

3. Feeling that Gisel is not being treated fairly

In essence, Melanie questions the Indonesian legal system that is happening in this case. She feels that Gisel is not receiving fair treatment, both legally and in terms of publication.

"That's my answer. The video spreader is a SUSPECT. The person in the video should only be a WITNESS according to the LAW. If it's about SINS, GOD decides. If you want to comment logically, don't be a MORAL POLICE unless you can prove to me that you don't have any sins," she concluded.
