JAKARTA - The police stated that they had no plans to summon Bahar bin Smith and Eggi Sudjana as the reported cases of alleged hate speech related to SARA. The reason is that the report is still being studied.
"Not yet (call the reported, Red), this is still new, yes, we are still conducting an investigation first," said Head of Public Relations of Polda Metro Jaya Kombes E. Zulpan to reporters, Tuesday, December 21.
In addition, Zulpan also said that the reporting of the two was still relatively new. The two reports were carried out on December 7 and 17.
However, it was emphasized that if the investigation team later needed information from the two reported parties, the police would immediately schedule an investigation.
"Yes, every report that is received by the police will be followed up," said Zulpan.
Bahar bin Smith and Eggi Sudjana were reported to Polda Metro Jaya. They are suspected of spreading information that is intended to cause hatred or hostility to individuals and groups based on SARA or insults to state authorities.
Reports registered with the number LP/B/6146/XII/2021/SPKT Polda Metro Jaya, dated December 7th. Both are suspected of violating Article 28 Paragraph 2 Juncto Article 45A Paragraph 1 of the ITE Law and/or Articles 14 and 15 of the Criminal Code.
It was later revealed that the reason for reporting against the two was because of twisting the statement by the Army Chief of Staff (KSAD) General Dudung Abdurachman about 'Our God is not an Arab'.
