Jakarta, CNN Indonesia –
Pangdam Jaya TNI Major General Dudung Abdurachman stated that he would arrest anyone who re-erected billboards bearing the image of the Islamic Defenders Front leadership (REIT) Rizieq Shihab if not according to Jakarta rules.
Dudung emphasized that the action would be carried out not only against the illegal billboard installer Rizieq, but against other posters that were not licensed.
“Certainly, we will definitely get it, then we will arrest the Regional Police Chief,” Dudung said at the Jakarta Military Command Headquarters on Monday (11/23).
He reflected on the actions of FPI sympathizers who frequently raised the Rizieq billboards after they were taken down by Satpol PP. This causes them to disobey the law, so they must be taken firmly.
According to him, billboard removal actions that do not comply with these regulations have often been carried out by TNI soldiers. In particular, he said, in the last two months. The joint apparatus has put in order at least 900 billboards and Rizieq banners since September 2020.
“Two months ago, TNI, Polri and Satpol PP carried this out (controlling the banner). Initially the Satpol PP was launched, but the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI) asked to rise again. Who are they? If the government is clear about its organization. How can they be afraid of them? “said Dudung.

Billboards with images of Rizieq Shihab are known to be scattered in various parts of and around Jakarta. The billboard shows a photo of Rizieq’s face with several words. One of them is the call for a moral revolution.
The reduction of billboards by TNI soldiers has been hotly debated since last week. This has drawn criticism because TNI is seen to have violated its duties as a means of national defense.
Meanwhile, the Chief of Information of the Regional Military Command, Lieutenant Colonel Arh Herwin Budi Saputra, considered that the banner with Rizieq’s image had the meaning of provocation. He was referring to the Rizieq banner that says a call to the people to carry out a moral revolution.
“What happens to Indonesia until there is a moral revolution? It contains provocation,” he said on Monday (11/23).
