JAKARTA - Constitutional law expert Refly Harun assesses that his fate is similar to that of the chairman of Jokowi Mania (JoMan), Immanuel Ebenezer for defending the defendant in the terrorism case, Munarman. According to Refly, Munarman's defender is considered a terrorist.

"(Immanuel's fate, ed) Just like I defended Munarman, he was considered a terrorist. God willing, later I will become an expert in Munarman's case to show that this is not really a matter of defending or not defending, but how to put something in its place according to the truth," said Refly, as quoted from the statement. Youtube channel @Refly Harun, Friday, March 4.

Refly Harun emphasized that there was nothing wrong in defending Munarman because the case now being charged with him seemed fabricated. It's a different matter if the former FPI official is directly involved in the bombing case and so on.

"If what I'm defending is the person who was caught bombing, that's just not appropriate. Munarman was linked with terrorism activities, which then felt like he was wanted," explained Refly.

Quoting senior economist Rizal Ramli's statement, Refly said that what happened to Munarman was a way of diverting the issue from the main problem.

This issue was deliberately raised by a group of oligarchs who want to stay in power because they are afraid that the change in power that will occur threatens their position.

Refly hopes that the struggle carried out by Noel, Immanuel Ebenezer's nickname, will remain consistent, protecting this nation from division. Including when Eben was threatened with dismissal from his position as President Commissioner of PT Mega Elektra (ME), a subsidiary of PT Pupuk Indonesia Holding Company (Persero) (PIHC).

"The sustenance does not depend on Erick Thohir and BUMN, it does not depend on power but depends on Allah SWT who provides sustenance," he explained.

Separately, Noel admitted that he would not be afraid to be removed from his position in BUMN, "I have nothing to do with my current position, about me without being a commissioner, I can live,"

"If they want to take the commissioner, I just take it, it doesn't affect us, we are activists, we have a national commitment, if you just take a position, there's no problem," said Noel.
