JAKARTA - Investigators at the Directorate of Cyber Crime, Bareskrim Polri rescheduled the examination of the Executive Committee of the Coalition for Action to Save Indonesia (WE), Ahmad Yani. Checks are scheduled for next week.

"The investigators will be planned next week to be recalled. As for the date, we will wait together," said Karo Penmas, Police Public Relations Division, Brigadier General Awi Setiyono to reporters, Wednesday, November 4.

Rescheduling of the examination, said Awi, was not due to an error in the summons. Instead, it was done because Ahmad Yani was absent from the previous summons on Wednesday, November 3.

"So far there have been no complaints. We have carried out the administrative process according to the management of the investigation," said Awi.

Previously, Ahmad Yani did not fulfill the summons for investigation regarding cases of alleged hate speech and incitement on social media. Ahmad Yani was originally examined as a witness to the development of suspect Anton Permana.

A member of Ahmad Yani's team of lawyers, Maj. Gen. TNI (ret.) Syamsu Djalal said that his client's absence was due to the unclear summons sent by investigators.

"Please correct the police summons, he is a witness, whether the witness is not clear, what case and who is the suspect, that's why we came here," said Djalal to reporters, Tuesday, November 3.

Djalal hopes that the summons against Ahmad Yani will be corrected. "If we want to check now, I don't understand. That's why we are here to convey this," he said.

Bareskrim Polri named 9 people as suspects for spreading hate speech and incitement related to the chaos of demonstrations against the Job Creation Law.

Of the 9 people, 7 of whom are members and high-ranking US officials, among others, Syahganda Nainggolan, Anton Permana, Jumhur Hidayat, Juliana, Devi, Khairi Amri, Wahyu Rasari Putri.

As for the other two, namely former PKS legislative candidates Kingkin Anida and Dedy Wahyudi, the owner of the social media account @podoradong.

They were suspected of having different articles. However, in general they are charged with the ITE Law, articles on hate speech and the spread of hoaxes.
