JAKARTA - The demonstration requesting that the Grand Imam of the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI), Rizieq Shihab, be released from detention. According to him, the central task force has coordinated with the regional task force.

This coordination is carried out so that regional task forces can be more responsive in preventing violations of health protocols. This is done to prevent additional cases of COVID-19 transmission.

"We have tried to coordinate with the regional task force to respond in preventing violations of health protocols," said Wiku when contacted by VOI, Friday, December 18.

In addition, to prevent a similar incident from occurring, he said a team from the central task force had trained the regional task force to use the behavior change monitoring system.

"We have trained the regional task force to use a behavior change monitoring system that tries to collect real time reporting data," he said.

Regarding the demonstration in the area of the Arjuna Wiwaha Horse Statue, most recently the mass in the demonstration remained at the location even though police officers tried to block it because this action was not equipped with a permit.

The surviving masses chanted the Prophet's salawat while the police remained in their stance, namely dispersing the masses. This is because the cases of COVID-19 have not yet increased and this has led to bans of all forms of crowds.

Currently, the police keep reminding the demonstrators to disperse. Until this news was released, the police had not taken firm action against the masses. The police are still making persuasive appeals.

"Please disperse. We are on a humanitarian mission," said police at the demonstration site.

In this action, as many as 12,500 joint personnel of the TNI-Polri, and the Regional Government (Pemda) of DKI Jakarta were deployed to guard the 1812 demonstration around the State Palace, Central Jakarta.

However, 5,000 joint personnel were deployed. Meanwhile, the remaining 7,500 were alerted to face uncontrollable situations.
