Jakarta, CNN Indonesia –

Deputy Secretary General (Wasekum) REIT, Aziz Yanuar said his party plans to request a stay of detention Rizieq Shihab.

Rizieq is known to be currently in the Polda Metro Jaya Detention Center after being officially detained for 20 days by investigators.

“We are trying to pre-trial the determination of the suspect, arrest and detention of HRS. Then we try to request a stay [penahanan]”Aziz said when contacted CNNIndonesia.com, Sunday (12/13).

However, he was not yet able to confirm when the letter requesting the suspension of the detention will be sent to investigators. The reason is that Rizieq was arrested yesterday.

Aziz also declined to say that the FPI leader turned himself in yesterday. He stressed that Rizieq complied with the police summons with a schedule adjusted by the suspects.

“If delivered, it’s DPO [Daftar Pencarian Orang], caught. This, may, no, “Aziz said.

Aziz said the reason his party asked for the detention to be suspended was because Rizieq did not escape. He said that various parties can guarantee this.

However, Aziz did not elaborate on the plan for the request for suspension of detention.

“His condition is still recovering as well. The family and DPR RI (will give a guarantee),” Aziz said without giving more details about the party that will provide the guarantee.

To obtain information, Rizieq was named a suspect in incitement, sparking a crowd that violated health protocols in Petamburan, in central Jakarta, some time ago.

He was then detained for the next 20 days starting on December 12, 2020. Investigators placed the leader of the FPI in the Polda Metro Jaya Detention Center (Rutan).

The head of the Public Relations Division of the National Police, Inspector General Argo Yuwono, revealed that one of the subjective reasons investigators detained the suspect in the case of violating Rizieq Shihab’s health protocol was to prevent the suspect from run away.

In addition, according to him, the investigators have two other subjective reasons for detaining the leader of the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI), namely, not to lose evidence and repeat similar criminal acts.

Rizieq was charged with articles 160 and 216 of the Penal Code. Police said that Rizieq had invited the crowd to the Prophet Muhammad’s birthday and his daughter’s wedding.

Police also named five other people as suspects. They are Haris Ubaidillah as head of the celebration committee, Ali Bin Alwi Alatas as committee secretary, Maman Suryadi as head of event security, Sobri Lubis as head of the event and Idrus as head of the event section.
