Jakarta, CNN Indonesia –
Chief Imam of the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI) Habib Rizieq Shihab was reported to have been allowed to return to Indonesia after going through a ban process by the Saudi Arabian government authorities.
The news of Rizieq’s return was also announced through a statement issued by the FPI’s Central Leadership Council (DPP) on Tuesday (10/13) and confirmed by Rizieq’s attorney, Sugito Atmo Pawiro.
In the statement statement, it was stated that Rizieq was ready to lead a revolution to save Indonesia after returning home.
“In-sha Allah, IB-HRS will soon return to Indonesia to lead a revolution to save NKRI. Allahu Akbar !!!” was written in the statement as quoted CNNIndonesia.com, Tuesday (10/13).
Meanwhile, Sugito wasn’t sure when it was confirmed that Rizieq would return to Indonesia. However, his group continued to make efforts so that the High Priest could return home quickly.
According to him, Rizieq’s return is currently being hampered by administrative processes in the Saudi Arabian government, such as passports, ticket purchases, and scheduling to return to Indonesia, and is being looked after by his lawyer in Saudi Arabia.
“As far as I know from the past, the technical administration in Saudi Arabia. So with regard to the passport, it has not been able to leave Saudi Arabia,” he said.
So far, Rizieq has been in Saudi Arabia for three years since he died in Indonesia in April 2017. Rizieq went to Saudi Arabia a week before being named a suspect in the alleged pornographic content case with Firza Hussein.
In December 2019, Rizieq accused him of being unable to return to Indonesia due to negotiations between the Indonesian government and Saudi Arabia for security reasons.
“The question is why can’t I go home yet because the government of Saudi Arabia keeps banning me for security reasons at the request of the Indonesian government. That is why I ask the Indonesian government to stop lying in the middle of national life.” Rizieq said, last December.
