JAKARTA - The secretary for legal aid from the DPP FPI, Aziz Yanuar, said that until now the leader of the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI), Rizieq Shihab, has not received a summons to be asked for clarification regarding the alleged health violations from the Jakarta Police.

Examination of cases of suspected health violations emerged from the holding of the Prophet's birthday and the marriage of Rizieq Shihab's child, Syarifah Najwa Shihab in the Petamburan area on Saturday, November 14.

"There has been no summons to Habib Rizieq to date. Keep in mind, Habib Rizieq here is not the committee who is not in the authority," said Aziz at Polda Metro Jaya, Central Jakarta, Wednesday, November 18.

Aziz said that today's clarification agenda was scheduled for the head of the organizing committee for the Prophet's birthday and marriage, Haris Ubaidillah. As a companion team, Aziz said that his party respects the ongoing legal process.

"We respect the legal process that has indeed begun. The authority and responsibility lies with the committee and the FPI DPP, not on Habib Rizieq," he said.

For information, the National Security Investigator (Kamneg) Polda Metro Jaya rescheduled a witness examination regarding the alleged violation of health protocols at Rizieq Shihab's daughter's wedding. In today's examination, investigators examined the wedding committee and invited guests.

The wedding committee in question includes the person who puts up the tent and so on. Meanwhile, invited guests will be clarified about the wedding ceremony.

Head of Public Relations of Polda Metro Jaya Kombes Yusri Yunus did not explain in detail how many and who would be clarified later. So far it has only been submitted if the examination is related to a suspected violation of health protocols.

"The rich committees made whose tents were, and some of the guests were invited to clarify," said Yusri.

Yusri said investigators would also examine several people from elements of government. The examination was carried out because they did not attend the previous opportunity.
