MEDAN - Through his attorney, the chairman of the Medan City Action Coalition to Save Indonesia, Khairi Amri, submitted a pretrial to the Medan District Court. Khairi was named a suspect for spreading hate speech.

Chairman of the North Sumatra Muhammadiyah University (UMSU) Alumni Advocate Corps, Mahmud Irsyad Lubis registered a registered pretrial application with number: 73 / Pid.Pra / 2020 / PN.MDN. A pretrial was submitted to challenge the status of suspect Khairi Amri by the Police.

"The first aspect of determining the suspect, second the aspect of arrest and the third aspect of detention," said Mahmud, Monday, October 19.

According to him, the arrest of Khairi Amri did not meet at least 2 pieces of evidence. Moreover, the contents of the WhatsApp group questioned by the Police were only known after Khairi Amri was arrested.

"Khairi Amari was arrested on Friday during the action, without 2 sufficient pieces of evidence. He was arrested because he was accused of spreading hate speech and inciting violence," he continued.

"We consider Khairi Amri's arrest and detention, which was preceded by the determination of the suspect, to be invalid based on the existing regulations," he said.

Mahmud denied Khairi Amri's allegation of being a logistics supplier for the demonstration against the Job Creation Law which ended in chaos in Medan some time ago. Everyday Khairi Amri is said to work as a motorcycle taxi driver.

"He is a motorcycle taxi driver, trying to tear down the country? We can't think in that direction yet," he said.

Apart from that being mentioned by Mahmud, Khairi was indeed aware of a donation of Rp. 500 thousand from an anonymous person. But this money is not used. Meanwhile, Rp. 300 thousand from 3 WA group members is used for consumption.

"Buy mineral water and rice to be distributed to students. We both imagine whether this country could collapse from Rp. 300 thousand, "said Mahmud.

"The arrest and detention are too forced and legally flawed, because it is registered prapid," he continued.
