The crowd demanded that Habib Rizieq Shihab be released from his detention at Polda Metro Jaya. “It is not allowed for a judicial process to be intervened, forced so that it is not carried out in accordance with the rule of law. It is enough to go through the judicial process,” said Arteria Dahlan, on Thursday (12/17/2020).

He believed that Polda Metro Jaya had arrested Habib Rizieq based on careful consideration. So it’s fitting that Habib Rizieq just go through the legal process.

“Habib Rizieq is a role model and should be able to become a role model for the whole wider community of all Indonesian Muslims. To respect the ongoing legal process,” said the politician from the Indonesian Democratic Struggle Party ( PDIP).

“This is Rizieq, who is responsible for his mistakes. This must be supported by all elements of society. Don’t worry, I am monitoring this process. So let the police do the best they can,” he added.

He discovered that Habib Rizieq Shihab was detained at Polda Metro Jaya. In fact, he had already relayed a message to the Chief Inspector General of Police for Metro Jaya, Pol Fadil Imran, to pay more attention to Habib Rizieq Shihab.

“I continue to monitor and ask the Chief of Police to provide the best possible care. This is for the good of the law enforcement process,” he said.

Arteria said it is okay for the masses to take steps to convey messages to the government and police. However, the demonstration did not intervene in the judicial process that Habib Rizieq Shihab was carrying out.

“If it’s a demonstration, go ahead. But if the agenda calls for the release of Habib Rizieq, then it can’t,” he said.

Just to point out, Rizieq Shihab was named a suspect for incitement and the crowd. He has currently been detained at the Polda Metro Jaya Narcotics Detention Center for the next 20 days or until December 31, 2020.

Rizieq became a suspect of violating the Health Quarantine Law regarding crowds on the Prophet’s birthday and his daughter’s wedding in Petamburan on November 14, 2020. In addition, Rizieq was charged with article 160 of the related Penal Code with the sedition with the threat of a sentence of 6 years in prison and 216 KUHP.
