BBC tracks down Indonesian teacher secretly released early after sexual assault conviction

Monday, 21 September 2026, 06:45 · 1 min read

BBC Eye has uncovered that Mochamad Subchi Azal Tsani, known as Bechi, a teacher in Indonesia convicted of sexually assaulting a student, was quietly granted early release from prison. Additional alleged victims, including a woman named Ira, claim Bechi raped and sexually abused her over a period of years — allegations he has not responded to when put to him by the BBC. Indonesia's Ministry of Immigration and Correction confirmed the early release was authorised through legal sentence reductions, raising serious concerns about transparency and the protection of survivors in such cases.
