DENPASAR - Musician I Gede Ari Astina, known as Jerinx, was charged with spreading hatred or hostility towards the Indonesian Doctors Association (IDI) through posts on his Instagram account. The prosecutor considered Jerinx's post about 'IDI Kacung WHO' to insult IDI.

"As a result of the defendant's act of making posts on Instagram social media in the form of images or writing tones of hatred, hostility or insult or defamation against IDI, so that IDI feels insulted and hated by some Indonesian people and is harmed by the posting of this status," said the public prosecutor reading out indictment in an online trial broadcast via Youtube to the Denpasar District Court, Thursday, September 10.

There are two Jerinx posts on the @jrxsid account in question, namely the posts on June 13 and June 15. According to the prosecutor, Jerinx deliberately and without the right to spread information that caused hatred or hostility to individuals or groups of society, namely the Indonesian Doctors Association (IDI) in Bali.

“Because they are proud to be WHO lackeys, IDI and the hospital arbitrarily oblige all people who are going to give birth to be tested for CV19. There is already a lot of evidence that the test results are often inconsequential, why do you force them? If the test results cause stress and cause the death of the baby / mother, who is responsible, ”said the prosecutor reading Jerinx's post on June 13.

The prosecutor also reviewed several comments on Jerinx's posts from a number of accounts to mention the total number of likes and comments on the post. Even in the second apostrophe on June 15, the prosecutor also reviewed the same thing.

"On June 15, the @jrxsid account again made a post 'in 2018 there were 21 doctors who died, this is only being monitored by the media, unfortunately there is a rotten conspiracy that dramatizes the situation as if the doctor died only this year so that people are overly afraid of COVID-19. How do I know? please copy all the links in the photo, post it on your FB / IG, then see what happens. still say COVID-19 is not a conspiracy? Wake the fuck up Indonesia ', ”said the prosecutor reading Jerinx's second post

According to the prosecutor, Jerinx deliberately made the post until it was judged by the prosecutor to cause hatred against IDI. Jerinx's character in Superman Is Dead (SID) was also mentioned in the indictment.

"The defendant deliberately made a post because the defendant knew that the post would get public attention and was busy on mass media or social media and received various comments," said the prosecutor.

"Because the defendant is a public figure as a member of the band SID, which has quite a number of fans, spread throughout Indonesia and even abroad," continued the prosecutor, continuing the impact of the two posts on Jerinx's Instagram.

Jerinx was charged with Article 28 paragraph 2 in conjunction with Article 45 paragraph 2 of the Information and Electronic Transaction Law (ITE) and the second alternative charge, namely Article 27 paragraph 3 in conjunction with Article 45 paragraph 3 of the ITE Law. Jerinx and his attorneys did not listen to the reading of the indictment because they chose to leave the room after the trial was held online.
