Abstract
This study aims to analyze what rights are not fulfilled for former political prisoners from the Indonesian Communist Party (PKI) after their release by taking cases on the political prisoners community in Moncongloe, and to provide legal protection and recognition of the constitutional rights of former political prisoners. The method used is the socio-legal method, namely normative research supported by field data as supporting material, but still a study of written legal norms with data collection techniques through interviews, observation, and documentation. The results of the interviews proved that the memory production of political prisoners was expressed through daily notes, letters and sketches. The results in this study indicate that after release, the problems of the political prisoners community do not end and this study indicate that the conception of human rights as regulated in the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia is a form of guaranteeing the constitutional rights of citizens. However, its implementation at this time has never been felt by former political prisoners in the life of the nation and state. As a result, it gave birth to a marginalized community.
Keywords: Constitutionality, Former Political Prisoners, Fulfillment of Rights.
