Revealed, Rizieq Shihab's Message To Munarman, Who Was Arrested By The Police For Alleged Involvement In Terrorism Cases

JAKARTA - Former High Priest of FPI (Islamic Defenders Front) Rizieq Shihab is said to have known about Munarman's arrest on suspicion of involvement in a terrorist group. Rizieq said he entrusted a message to Munarman.

"I know (knowing that Munarman was arrested)", said former Secretary Legal Aid of FPI Aziz Yanuar to reporters at the East Jakarta District Court, Wednesday, April 28.

In addition, said Aziz, Rizieq also advised Munarman to still patient with the problems at hand. In fact, Rizieq will always pray for Munarman.

"He prays that Mr. Munarman and his family will be protected from evil treason and Allah will always protect", said Aziz.

On the other hand, Aziz also said that he deeply regretted the arrest. Supposedly, the National Police could have used a more elegant method by sending a summons first.

Moreover, this method of arrest is considered to violate any legal provisions. This is because the arrest process ignores Munarman's rights.

"Many of these efforts violate legal provisions, namely Article 28 paragraph 3 of Law 5 of 2018, namely not paying attention to and ignoring the human rights of the suspect, in this case, because of being dragged, until "He did not have time to use footwear and was not accompanied by a legal attorney", he said.

Meanwhile, Munarman was arrested at his residence in Bukit Modern Pondok Cabe Housing, South Tangerang, at around 15.30 WIB, Tuesday, April 27. Munarman is suspected of being involved in a terrorism case.

Murnaman is said to be connected to the allegiance of a suspected terrorist in Makassar, South Sulawesi.
