JAKARTA - The trial of the alleged criminal act of terrorism, former General Secretary of FPI, Munarman, was held today, Monday, January 17. The trial was held at the East Jakarta District Court (PN Jaktim).

Public Relations of the East Jakarta District Court, Alex Adam Faisal, said the trial was held at around 09.00 WIB with the agenda of examining witnesses from the Prosecutor.

"The trial will reopen on Monday, January 17, 2022 with the agenda of witnesses from the public prosecutor (estimated 5 people)," said Alex in his written statement.

Previously, the Panel of Judges of the East Jakarta District Court (PN Jaktim) rejected Munarman's memorandum of objection or exception. According to the judge, Munarman and his attorney's exception had no legal basis and could not be accepted.

"The trial states that the objection to the exception of the defendant's legal counsel cannot be accepted," said the judge in a trial with an interlocutory decision at the East Jakarta District Court (PN Jaktim), Wednesday, January 12.

Munarman was charged with mobilizing people to commit acts of terror and assisting acts of terrorism.

In addition, the Prosecutor also gave a subsidiary indictment of Article 13 letter c of the same regulation.

Munarman then expressed his objection to the indictment. He considered his arrest had several motives. One of them was targeted for defending 6 FPI Laskars who died in the KM 50 tragedy.

The prosecutor then said that Munarman's objections were subjective and should be put aside. They then asked the Judges of the East Jakarta District Court to reject all of Munarman's objections.
