He said the public had to be patient considering that there were a number of institutions that would investigate this incident. Including the National Commission on Human Rights (Komnas HAM).

"We certainly support Komnas HAM's initiative to form a monitoring and investigation team. Hopefully, the work of the National Human Rights Commission can provide an explanation to the public regarding the real issue," he said.

Furthermore, he also reminded that the shooting incident could be investigated openly. Moreover, this incident involving the police and FPI has two different versions of the story.

So that in its investigation, the principle of openness must really be considered.

Polda investigated the truth of the information and followed the vehicle Rizieq was in. On the Jakarta-Cikampek toll road, Fadil said the officers' vehicles were intercepted and then attacked using firearms and sharp weapons.

"Members who were threatened with their safety because they were attacked, then took a firm measure of measure, so that the group suspected of being MRS followers, totaling 10, died as many as 6 people," said Fadil.

However, this was denied by the FPI Spokesperson, Munarman. He emphasized that Rizieq made a trip to attend recitation at the residence of his immediate family.

"The news is slanderous. Habib Rizieq is heading outside Jakarta to attend the nuclear family recitation. I do not want to mention where it is. This is only a nuclear family recitation, it does not involve any parties," said Munarman.

Apart from that, Munarman also emphasized that no shootout was carried out by the police and members of the laskar. Because Rizieq's followers do not have firearms.

"That big slander, if our troops are called carrying firearms and shooting. There was no shooting, only shooting incidents. We can't possibly buy (firearms, ed) from the black market. So it's a lie, a lie at all. attempts to slander, distort the facts, "he said.
