JAKARTA - The panel of judges at the East Jakarta District Court postponed the trial for reading the indictment for former FPI Secretary Munarman related to the alleged terrorism case.

This delay was due to a request from Munarman and his lawyers. They asked for the trial to be conducted face-to-face or offline.

"The trial cannot be continued because there is a request for an offline trial," said the presiding judge in the trial, Wednesday, December 1.

For this reason, the panel of judges adjourned the trial for another week. Thus, the trial with the agenda of reading the indictment will be held on Wednesday, December 8.

In the trial later, the public prosecutor (JPU) was asked to present Munarman in the trial.

"The public prosecutor was ordered to present the defendant at the appointed time. Then, regarding the official report, please request an official report," said the judge. Previously, Munarman's lawyer, Aziz Yanuar, stated that he would ask the panel of judges to hold a face-to-face trial. The reason is that face-to-face hearings have been regulated by law.

"What is clear is that we comply with the law as determined by the trial court to go offline," said Aziz.
