JAKARTA - Police Public Relations Division Karopenmas, Brigadier General Awi Setiyono asked the public not to equate the crowd case of Rizieq Shihab's child marriage with the crowd during the registration of 2020 Pilkada nominations by Gibran Rakabuming in Solo.
Awi views that mass gathering during the candidate registration stage until the 2020 Pilkada Simultaneous campaign period is a matter for the Election Supervisory Agency (Bawaslu).
"Do not confuse the case with this. The issue of the 2020 Pilkada registration stage is a matter for the supervisor, Bawaslu. Case by case, do not equalize it," said Awi at Police Headquarters, South Jakarta, Wednesday, November 18.
Awi said that prosecution for suspected health protocol violations is in the hands of Bawaslu. According to him, Bawaslu has the authority to process the crowd during the 2020 Pilkada stage.
"It's a different crime scene case. If there (Pilkada Solo), please confirm to the Bawaslunya. Where the crime scene is, please," said Awi.
Furthermore, Awi explained that the issue of regional elections is constitutionally regulated in statutory regulations. There are also derivative regulations in the form of KPU regulations to the announcement of the Chief of Police that are arranged in such a way.
"The laws and regulations have regulated everything, the organizers have also been regulated in such a way and this is the mandate of the law. Do not equate it with unclear reasons," said Awi.
Previously, Secretary of the DPP Islamic Defenders Front (FPI), Aziz Yanuar, said that his party would comply with the process until the legal decision related to the alleged violation of health protocols at the Prophet's birthday and marriage in Petamburan.
However, Aziz also asked the police to be fair in investigating the crowds that also occurred in various regions. The case he highlighted was the crowd of supporters of the candidate for Mayor of Solo, Gibran Rakabuming, when he registered his candidacy on 4 September.
"We obey the law and we don't ask for privileges. But, we ask for justice. We also ask (the crowd) to process it before, including the delivery of Gibran as a candidate for Mayor of Solo who did not keep his distance," said Aziz.
"Does the law only apply to Habib Rizieq? Kann not. This law applies to all. We ask that it be enforced, including to the authorities. That's what we are asking for," he continued.
A comparison of legal action between Rizieq's crowd and other cases has also been disclosed by DKI Governor Anies Baswedan. This is in response to the assumption that he calls himself insecure about violations of the mass health protocol of FPI leaders because they do not take crowd prevention.
When mentioned about this, Anies spoke about the simultaneous regional elections 2020. According to Anies, the DKI Provincial Government is still more proactive in reminding the importance of health protocols compared to the implementation of the 2020 Pilkada.
"You see Pilkada throughout Indonesia is taking place, are there any (official) letters reminding the organizers of the importance of adhering to health protocols?" said Anies.
