JAKARTA - Spokesperson for the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI), Munarman, has asked the National Human Rights Commission (Komnas HAM) to investigate the shooting of six special laskar followers of Rizeq Shihab by the police.

"We will try to report to Komnas HAM openly to conduct investigations. Therefore, the instrument we are asking to move is Komnas HAM," said Munarman in Petamburan, Central Jakarta, Monday, December 7.

Munarman said that his party would not report the shooting incident of his staff to the National Police Propam. This is because Munarman doubts the police shootings will be investigated independently. That is why FPI asked Komnas HAM to intervene.

"This is called a gross violation of human rights. Those who commit murder outside of this legal process should be tried by a human rights court," said Munarman.

The police attack by Rizieq Shihab's laskar took place around 00.30 WIB Monday, early morning. Metro Jaya Regional Police Chief Inspector General Fadil Imran said that the police had received news that a mass of supporters of Rizieq Shihab would be deployed in connection with an investigation called Inspector General Fadil circulating in many WhatsApp groups.

The Regional Police conducted an investigation into the truth of the information and followed the vehicle Rizieq was in. On the Jakarta-Cikampek toll road, Fadil said the officers' vehicles were intercepted and then attacked using firearms and sharp weapons.

"Members who were threatened with their safety because they were attacked, then took a firm measure of measure, so that the group suspected of being MRS followers, totaling 10, died as many as 6 people," said Fadil.

However, this was denied by the FPI Spokesperson, Munarman. Munarman emphasized that Rizieq made a trip to attend recitation at the residence of his immediate family.

"The news is slander. Habib Rizieq is heading outside Jakarta to attend the nuclear family recitation. I do not want to mention where it is. This is only a nuclear family recitation, it does not involve any parties," said Munarman.

Munarman also denied that Rizieq's followers had firearms. Therefore, Munarman emphasized that no shootout was carried out by the police and members of the laskar.

"That big slander, if our laskar is said to be carrying firearms and shooting. There was no shooting, only shooting incidents. We can't possibly buy (firearms) from the black market. So it's a lie, it's a lie at all. , pervert the facts, "he concluded.
