Not Only Rizieq Shihab, 37 Mass Sanctions When Attending The Prophet's Birthday Last Night
JAKARTA - The leader of the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI) Muhammad Rizieq Shihab was fined for violating health protocols during the Prophet's birthday and marriage at his residence last night.
Not only Rizieq, there were also 37 supporters of Rizieq who were also present at the event at Jalan KS Tubun, Petamburan, Central Jakarta, which were sanctioned for violating health protocols, namely not wearing masks.
"There are also around 37 people who do not wear masks who have been given fines and social work. These sanctions are given by the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government through Satpol PP," said Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta Ahmad Riza Patria when contacted, Sunday, November 15.
Riza thanked Rizieq, his family and FPI for obeying the enforcement of the rules and the fines given for allowing crowds during the pandemic.
"We thank Habib Rizieq who received the letter and sanctions given by the Provincial Government through the Head of the Satpol PP who had come and even immediately fulfilled their obligations and responsibilities," he said.
On that basis, Riza hopes that Rizieq can guarantee that his followers can implement the health protocol when they return to the event in the future. Moreover, he said, Rizieq often called on his followers to carry out a moral revolution.
"Hopefully in the future we can improve and set an example. Moreover, Habib Rizieq also called for a moral revolution. I personally support that call," he explained.
As is known, a number of guests seemed to be crammed onto the main stage without wearing masks and jostling after the wedding ceremony for Rizieq Shihab's daughter, Syarifah Najwa Shihab, which was held in Petamburan, Central Jakarta, Saturday, November 14.
The marriage contract ceremony between Syarifah Najwa Shihab and Irfan Al Idrus was held at around 21.00 WIB and broadcast on the YouTube channel Front TV.
In this event, Irfan said the contract in Arabic in front of Rizieq, while Najwa Shihab waited at his father's house. The contract ceremony ended at 21.30 WIB. The event was continued with the Prophet's birthday.
Rizieq appears to be wearing a face shield or faceshield and mask at this event. Although at first he used the mask correctly, later on, Rizieq lowered the mask to his chin.
Earlier, Jakarta Satpol PP Head Arifin visited the residence of the leader of the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI) Rizieq Shihab to impose sanctions for violating health protocols during the transitional PSBB period.
In the event of the Prophet's birthday and the wedding of his daughter last night, Rizieq allowed a violation of health protocol in the form of a crowd. In fact, some of the guests who attended did not wear masks.
"This visit is about enforcing the COVID-19 protocol. Yes, (Rizieq) will be sanctioned," said Arifin when he was met at Jalan KS Tubun, Petamburan, Central Jakarta.
Arifin said the sanctions that would be imposed on Rizieq were administrative fines of IDR 50 million. Satpol PP has also sent a letter giving the fine to Rizieq.
