One day after the return to the country of the High Priest of the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI) Habib Rizieq Shihab (HRS), PDI-P politician Henry Yosodiningrat visited the Directorate of Special Criminal Investigation (Ditreskrimsus) of the Jakarta Police. He even asked about a defamation case whose report was made in 2017.

“I ask the State Police of the Republic of Indonesia, in this case Metro Polda, to follow up on the police report at that time,” Henry asked when he was received at the Jakarta Police Headquarters, in South Jakarta, on Wednesday (11/11).

According to Henry, that same year, several public reports related to HRS allegedly insulted Pancasila, insulted Hinduism and Christianity, and insulted the people of Sundanese. As a result of the HRS statement, there was division and unrest in the community.

So Henry asked the police not to hesitate to arrest and detain HRS. However, Henry emphasized that he had nothing to do with certain parties but was insulted by the accusations that happened to him at the time.

“At that time there were various types of reports from the public, both groups and individuals, such as insulting Pancasila, insulting Hinduism, Christianity, insulting the people of Sundanese, etc.,” said Henry.

Henry continued, thus far he understood the obstacle of the police in not processing the report on the alleged defamation. Because, a few weeks after the report was received at Ditreskrimsus Polda Metro Jaya, HRS went to Saudi Arabia for the Umrah pilgrimage. During that time the case had not yet entered the investigation stage.

“Because only a few reports have made the police worry that they went to Umrah and did not come home for 3.5 years. So I can tolerate that time, but now there is no reason not to follow up.” Henry said.

In early 2017, Henry reported Polda Metro Jaya to HRS on charges of defamation of his name. The report is registered under the number LP / 529 / I / 2017 / PMJ / Ditreskrimsus. According to him, HRS accused himself of being a politician with communist ideals, hostile to Muslims on Facebook and Instagram accounts.

Later, Henry reported to HRS on the allegation that he had violated article 310 of the Penal Code and article 311 of the Penal Code or article 27 paragraph (3) in conjunction with article 28 in conjunction with article 45 paragraph (2) of RI Law No. 19 of 2016 on Amendments to the Information and Electronic Transactions Law (ITE).

University of Indonesia (UI) law observer Chudry Sitompul said many parties questioned whether the police would re-prosecute the legal cases for which Rizieq Shihab was charged with returning to Indonesia after this. Chudry assessed that the legal case against Rizieq was not canceled just because he was in another country.

“As long as there is no SP3 (Order to stop the investigation), the case is still ongoing. It does not diminish its legal status,” Chudry said on Tuesday (11/10).

Even if the case has been completed or stopped, according to Chudry, it can still be reopened as long as there is new evidence. Chudry hopes the police will be transparent if the Rizieq case is followed up again. So you can eliminate bad perceptions of the police.

“It must be transparent, can There will also be a lawyer later if, for example, you become a suspect. So everyone is right. For example, being a witness does not have to be accompanied, ”he said.

The president of the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI), Sugito Atmo Prawiro, was reluctant to respond to the measures taken by PDI Perjuangan politician Henry Yoso Diningrat, who brought up the old HRS case. Sugito suspected that Henry’s action was just looking for a scenario.

“In my opinion it’s just looking for a stage, keep going Legal stay I report? ”Sugito said when contacted by phone on Wednesday (11/11).

In addition, Sugito also questioned the strong evidence as to whether HRS did indeed commit criminal acts of defamation on Henry’s part. So if the report is clear, of course the police will process it too. Also, the report was made in 2017 or before HRS left Indonesia for umrah about 3.5 years ago.

“If the report is clear, maybe we will respond to it later, if the report is clear, the police will definitely respond,” Sugito said.

Regarding whether there is a possibility that HRS legal cases that have been terminated will be reopened upon return, Polda Metro Jaya previously did not explain in detail. Also, cases whose status is still unknown, the police did not explain either.

“I’ll check first,” Polda Metro Jaya’s head of Public Relations, Police Chief Commissioner Yusri Yunus, said when he was greeted at Metro Jaya Police Headquarters in South Jakarta on Monday (11 September ).

These are some of the cases that happened to HRS, before leaving Indonesia about three years ago.

1. The Indonesian Catholic Students Association (PMKRI) and the Student Peace Institute (SPI) have denounced HRS for allegedly insulting Christianity at a conference in Pondok Kelapa, Duren Sawit, East Jakarta, on December 25, 2016.

In this case, HRS was threatened with being subject to article 165 of the Penal Code and article 156a of the Penal Code or article 28, paragraph 2, and article 45 A, paragraph 2 of the Law of the Republic of Indonesia number 19 of 2016 related to ITE. However, so far the continuation of this case is not known.

2. In October 2016, the daughter of the first president of the Republic of Indonesia, Soekarno, Sukmawati, denounced Rizieq for having committed a criminal act of defamation against the national emblem and foundation, as indicated in article 154a of the Code Penal Code and / or Article 310 of the Penal Code and / or Article 57a in conjunction with Article 68 of Law Number 24 of 2009 on the National Flag, Language and Symbols and the National Anthem.

In 2018, the report with the number LP / 1077 / X / 2016 / Bareskrim was officially stopped by the West Java Regional Police and issued an SP3. The reason is that the actions carried out by HRS were not criminal acts.

3. In 2017, Solidaritas Merah Putih (Solmet) reported HRS to Polda Metro Jaya. HRS was reportedly linked to Rizieq’s conference on the hammer and sickle logo in new money that was uploaded to YouTube by the FPI TV account on December 25, 2016. As in the previous case, there was no a clear resolution of this case.

4. In 2017, HRS was hit by a nasty problem related to allegations chat unpleasant on the site baladacintarizieq. In that blog, uploaded screenshot or screenshots of the alleged pornographic conversation between Rizieq and Firza. HRS and Firza were later named suspects in May 2017. However, in 2018, the police stopped the case and issued an SP3.

5. In 2017, several lawyers and community leaders from the Bali Police were linked to hate speech. The HRS statement is suspected of threatening the safety of Hindus in Indonesia through an event in Petamburan, South Jakarta, several years ago. In the video clip, HRS stated that it would rally the Balinese outside the Island of the Gods to be returned to Bali. However, the clarity of this case is still unknown.
