Speaking about the problem that Habib Rizieq is seriously ill, Brigadier General Rusdi offers a firm statement

jpnn.com, JAKARTA – The Chief of the Public Information Office of the Indonesian National Police, Brigadier General Pol Rusdi Hartono, confirmed that M Rizieq Shihab (MRS) or Habib Rizieq at the Bareskrim Polri detention center are in good health.

“Now he is still in Bareskrim. His health problems (Rizieq) are now in good condition,” Rusdi said in the office of the Police Public Relations Division, Jakarta, on Monday (1/25).

Brigadier General Rusdi’s statement also denied the issue that Habib Rizieq was ill.

Brigadier General Rusdi even explicitly stated that the news that Rizieq was ill was a lie.

“If there is a serious illness problem, it is a lie. MRS is now in good health and always receives the best service, especially with regard to the health of Bareskrim Polri,” Rusdi said.

On Thursday, January 14, 2020, Habib Rizieq was transferred from the Polda Metro Jaya detention center to the Bareskrim detention center.

The action was carried out because the number of residents of the Polda Metro Detention Center had exceeded its capacity.

Other than that, the transfer was also intended to make it easier for investigators to ask Rizieq for information on various cases that caught him.
