The Indonesian Ambassador to Saudi Arabia, Agus Maftuh Abegebriel, and the Front of Islamic Defenders (FPI) responded to each other’s statements about the planned return of Habib Rizieq Syihab. The debate over the comments even led to the issue of the politicization of the city of Mecca and an invitation to repentance.
It all started with the declaration of the head of the FPI Ahmad Shabri Lubis from the command car to reject the omnibus law on the Employment Creation Law, on Tuesday (10/13/2020). Shabri stated that Habib Rizieq would immediately return to Indonesia.
“The high priest Habib Rizieq Syihab will soon return to Indonesia to lead the revolution,” Shabri said.
Shabri said the ban and fines related to Habib Rizieq in Saudi Arabia had been lifted. Without elaborating on the ban and the fine in question, he expressed his gratitude to the government of Saudi Arabia.
“The FPI Central Leadership Council and the Indonesian people wish to express their deepest gratitude to the Saudi government and all those who helped Habib Rizieq Syihab, including all Muslims who pray for him that he is always protected and returns to Indonesia immediately “, He said.
Indonesian Ambassador called Habib Rizieq for not being able to leave Saudi Arabia
Shabri Lubis’s statement aboard the command vehicle has generated mixed responses from various parties. One of those who also spoke about Habib Rizieq’s return plan was Ambassador Agus Maftuh.
Agus revealed that Habib Rizieq’s status on the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s immigration portal system is still ‘flashing red’ or has been unable to leave the country.
“According to our communication with the Government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, so far the name Mohammad Rizieq Syihab (MRS) in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s immigration portal system continues to ‘flash red,'” said Agus, who was in Mecca for detikcom, on Wednesday (10/14).
“Red blink = unable to leave Saudi Arabia,” he added.
Agus revealed that in the immigration portal system, the reasons for Habib Rizieq’s status were written as ‘flashing red’. Among other things, the visa ran out and violated the law.
“With the words’ ta’syirat mutanahiyah ‘(expired visa) and in another column it says: mukhalif (violators of the law). Form of violation: mutakhallif ziyarah (extended stay with a visit visa). There is also a column’ ma ‘lumat al-mukhalif’ (data on the offender). In the MRS photo column written ‘Surah al-Mukhalif’ the photo of the offender, “he said.
Agus explained that Saudi Arabia has never discriminated against foreign nationals (WNA) in terms of fines and penalties for immigration violators. Because, he said, there is already a standard system that regulates it.
“As of the punishment of fines and deportation (tarhil) and being on the rollback list, they cannot enter Saudi Arabia. 5 years of experience serving as Indonesian citizens in Saudi Arabia, the habit of solving Indonesian citizens who stay longer Time and immigration violations must go through a ‘biometric’ seizure process at the Saudi Arabian tarhil (deportation) offices. After that, an ‘Exit Permit’ permit was issued with the status of SPORT. return for this athlete does not go through the conventional door, “said Agus.
It should be noted that Habib Rizieq was banned by the Government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Habib Rizieq was banned for violating immigration rules. Because of this, Agus explained that the only one who could answer about the ban on Habib Rizieq was the Government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
“Because KSA knows better about the violations committed by the MRS. The Indonesian government has never prevented the return of the MRS,” he said.
