Hate Speech Suspect Edy Mulyadi Claims 'Aimed', Police Confirm This

JAKARTA - The National Police emphasized that the handling of the case involving Edy Mulyadi was carried out professionally. The statement was in response to Edy Mulyadi's claim that he had stated that he had been targeted by certain parties.

"Once again, this investigation is carried out objectively, proportionally and professionally," said Karo Penmas of the Public Relations Division of the National Police Brigadier General Ahmad Ramadhan, Monday, January 31.

However, Ramadhan was reluctant to comment much on this matter. He reiterated that all cases were handled according to the rules.

Previously, Edy Mulyadi stated that he felt targeted by certain parties. However, not because of the alleged hate speech case regarding Kalimantan where the genie dumped their child.

"I am well aware because my amazing friends are well aware that I was being targeted," said Edy Mulyadi.

According to Edy Mulyadi, he has become a target not because of his statement about Kalimantan where the genie throws children or Prabowo Subianto who is considered a meowing tiger.

However, he became a target for being critical. Especially with government policies.

"I was targeted not because of words, not because of the place where the genie throws children. I was not targeted because of the meowing tiger," said Edy Mulyadi.
