Jakarta, CNN Indonesia –
Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs Mahfud MD said the case that caught the leader of the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI) Muhammad Rizieq Shihab and Bahar smith not the criminalization of academics.
According to Mahfud, the two had to be subjected to a judicial process for being suspected of having committed criminal acts regulated by law.
“Those convicted were due to criminal acts, not clergymen. Was the period of committing crimes not punished?” Mahfud said in a written statement on Thursday (12/24).
Mahfud stated that Rizieq was a suspect and was detained not for political reasons, but for a general crime in the form of alleged acts of incitement to others to gather in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic situation.
While Bahar was jailed not because he insulted the president or mocked the government, but because he had seriously mistreated others.
“There is no criminalization of the ulama in Indonesia. Because, in addition to co-founding Indonesia first, it is currently the ulama who govern, lead and participate in the direction of policies in Indonesia,” Mahfud explained.
Apart from the above two names, Mahfud also said that the legal process against Abu Bakar Ba’asyir was not a way to criminalize the ulama. He explained that Ba’asyir had been shown to be legally and legally involved in the criminal act of terrorism.
“He (Ba’asyir) was sentenced when the Chief Justice was known as an Islamic figure, Bagir Manan. It is impossible for Pak Bagir to allow the criminalization of the ulama if there is no evidence of involvement in terrorism,” added the former President of the Constitutional Court (MK).
