Meanwhile, Parahyangan University constitutional law expert Asep Warlan Yusuf said the rules must be enforced.

Asep explained that, in order to respond to complaints of illegal acts committed by a person, it is necessary to precede an exhaustive study until a conclusion is drawn that shows that the person is guilty or not.

That too, according to Asep, applies to government institutions to tackle the problem of crowds of Rizieq Shihab supporters.

“There are five factors that need to be taken into account, namely who is the perpetrator, what rules are violated, what are the consequences, what is the responsibility and resolution,” Asep said.

Still, Asep admitted, managing the masses of Rizieq supporters was no easy job.

The reason, according to Asep, is that they move on the basis of fanaticism.

“It is difficult, I think it is difficult because they are fans. It is different with Pilkada supporters, because it is clear who is in charge. If they are, who can be stopped,” he said.
