JAKARTA - Two suspects suspected of violating the health protocol in Petamburan, Tanah Abang, Central Jakarta, namely the General Chair of the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI) Shabri Lubis and the FPI Laskar Commander Maman Suryadi, came to the Jakarta Metro Police.

FPI's lawyer, Sugito, emphasized that the arrival of the two suspects was a fulfillment of obligations during the examination and not to surrender.

"Sobri Lubis and Maman Suryadi came for the examination. We did not come to surrender ourselves, we came to be examined," said Sugito at Polda Metro Jaya, Monday, December 14.

Sugito said that currently Shabri and Maman had just entered the second summons. So, it is still considered normal. If they are absent in the third summons, the two new suspects can be picked up by force and must surrender.

"This is just the second call. If for example it is the third call, then it doesn't come, we can force it to pick it up. So, we made an appointment at 10.00 WIB to be examined as a suspect," he said.

Even though he had met the examination schedule, Sugito was reluctant to reveal the suspect's defense to the investigating police. "We will see the progress in the examination process," he said.

For information, there are six suspects in the crowd case in Petamburan. Rizieq was named a suspect by Polda Metro Jaya under Article 160 of the Criminal Code and Article 216 of the Criminal Code.

Meanwhile, the other five suspects were designated as suspects under Article 93 of Law Number 6 of 2018 concerning Health Quarantine.

Yesterday, the Head of Public Relations at Polda Metro Jaya said that three of the five suspects who allegedly violated the health protocol apart from Rizieq Shihab had surrendered to Polda Metro Jaya.

"This morning, at around 01.00 WIB, three of the five suspects surrendered to Polda Metro Jaya," said Yusri at Polda Metro Jaya, South Jakarta, Sunday, December 13.

The three people who surrendered were Haris Ubaidillah as the head of the committee for the Prophet's birthday and wedding in Petamburan, Ali bin Alwi Alatas as the committee secretary, and Idrus as the head of the event section.

"The three people below together with their lawyers visited Polda Metro Jaya. We will continue to carry out the health protocol activities," said Yusri.

Three suspects were investigated until evening. They were not detained. Meanwhile, two other suspects, namely Shabri Lubis as the person in charge of the event and Maman Suryadi as the person in charge of security, are still waiting to surrender yesterday.

"We have an ultimatum, we have given two options. Polda Metro Jaya has given two options, surrender or we will arrest them," said Yusri.
