JAKARTA - Islamic Defenders Front (FPI) lawyer Aziz Yanuar believes that the imposition of criminal articles, namely Article 160 of the Criminal Code, which Rizieq Shihab has been accused of leading to inappropriate detention. Because, according to Aziz, in Rizieq's statement at the birthday of the Prophet in Tebet area, Friday, November 13, which became evidence of the imposition of the article, Rizieq simply invited his followers to attend the Prophet's birthday event in Petamburan and did not invite them to gather.
"When viewing a video that allegedly resembled him, the narrative in our perspective was only inviting the Prophet's birthday, not crowding," said Aziz at Polda Metro Jaya, Sunday, December 13.
Then, he said, the imposition of Article 216 of the Criminal Code concerning obstruction of officers who were also accused of Habib Rizieq was also inappropriate. Aziz also considers that taking action against crowd cases like this is only applied to Rizieq.
"Habib Rizieq was detained because of a crowd case, which to our knowledge, from legal counsel, is the only one in the world who violates health protocols. Then he is subject to fines, criminal convictions, handcuffs, and detention," he said.
For information, FPI leader Rizieq Shihab was detained at the Jakarta Police's Directorate of Narcotics detention in a case of alleged violation of health protocols.
When he left the examination room, Rizieq immediately entered the detention center without re-explaining the legal discrimination he meant. Rizieq will serve a 20-day detention period from December 12 to December 31.
In this case, Polda Metro Jaya has named Habib Rizieq a suspect in the alleged violation of the health protocol. In addition, there were five other people who were also named suspects in the alleged violation of protocol at Habib Rizieq's celebration.
Rizieq had scheduled his questioning twice by Polda Metro Jaya. However, at that time he did not come to answer the summons on the grounds of restoring health.
He was charged under Articles 160 and 216 of the Criminal Code. Article 160 of the Criminal Code concerning Incitement to Violence and Not Complying with the provisions of the law, with the threat of six years imprisonment or a fine of IDR 4,500.
Meanwhile, Article 216 paragraph 1 of the Criminal Code concerning Obstacles to Legal Provisions. The threat is imprisonment of four months and two weeks or a fine of Rp9,000.
