Polda Metro Jaya stressed that it would still arrest Habib Rizieq Shihab after being named a suspect in the Petamburan crowd case. FPI attorney Aziz Yanuar said he was confused and questioned the urgency of the arrest.

“In principle, HRS and five other parties are ready to be investigated. So we are somewhat confused about the reasons and the urgency of this arrest,” Aziz said when contacted by reporters on Friday (11/12/2020).

According to Aziz, Habib Rizieq Shihab and the other five suspects must go through the process of summoning the suspect at this time. He said the subpoena previously sent by the police to his client was different because Habib Rizieq Shihab was still a witness at the time.

“In the previous subpoena, in our opinion, he is still in a witness capacity. Currently, the suspect’s (status) is different,” he said.

Aziz claimed that at that time Habib Rizieq was still in the health recovery stage, for which he was forced to ignore the two calls made by the police.

He considered the presence of Habib Rizieq Shihab’s lawyer at Polda Metro Jaya to request a subpoena for the suspect as proof that his party had cooperated.

“He (Habib Rizieq Shihab) is in the recovery phase and we have officially attached the letter. If the reason is not cooperative, at this time we have gone to Polda (Metro) to take a summons if there is one to accelerate this process “, said.
