JAKARTA - The head of the Al Zaytun Islamic Boarding School, Panji Gumilang, conveyed some of the examination materials in the alleged blasphemy case. Some of them are about life history to allegations of backing from 'the palace'.

"The first is of course asked about life history. It has been answered," Panji told reporters, Monday, July 3.

Then, in the process of being investigated, investigators were also said to have questioned whether or not a Panju Gumilang had ever been in trouble with the law.

The head of the Al Zaytun Islamic Boarding School also agreed. He said he had been imprisoned for 10 months.

"Both were asked whether Panji Gumilang had ever dealt with the law, he was answered once. The third, whether there was a legal stipulation, ever existed. How much is a legal stipulation, I have been sentenced to 10 months," he said.

When asked about the alleged backing from the palace against him, Panji stated that he had explained it to investigators.

"Yes, everything has been answered inside, it's done," said Panji.

Panji Gumilang was examined as a reported case in the alleged blasphemy case for 9 hours. He was asked about 30 questions.

The two reports were filed by the Central Leadership Council of the Pancasila Defenders Advocate Forum (DPP FAPP) against Panji Gumilang, on Friday, June 23, and Ken Setiawan NICC Center, Tuesday, June 27.
