JAKARTA - FPI High Priest Rizieq Shihab challenged the appointment of a suspect in the incitement and crowd in Petamburan. The crowd that took place at his daughter's wedding was said to be beyond his control.

Rizieq Shihab's lawyer, Muhammad Kamil Pasha, said his client had made efforts to prevent the crowd from occurring. One of them invited a few people to Syarifah Najwa Shihab's wedding with Irfan Alaydrus.

"Regarding the marriage, the applicant and his family only made limited invitations, and only 17 invitations were sent," said Kamil at Rizieq Shihab's pretrial hearing, Monday, January 4.

In addition, Rizieq's daughter's wedding did not cause a crowd. However, it was true that the Prophet's birthday was also held which attracted the attention of many parties.

But the Prophet's birthday, continued lawyer Rizieq Shihab, was initiated by the DPP FPI. It was also claimed that Rizieq's lawyer had the blessing of the Mayor of Central Jakarta.

"The wedding ceremony was approved and attended by the KUA Tanah Abang, and the maulid event was known and approved by the Mayor of the Central Jakarta Administration," he said.

"However, unexpectedly, many people attended, because of the longing for the Petitioner who recently returned to the country after about 3 years in Mecca, Saudi Arabia," continued Kamil.

According to Rizieq's lawyer, DPP FPI has also distributed free masks to the congregation who attended with the assistance of the DKI Jakarta Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD). Thus, the health protocol has been implemented.

"The distribution of masks, hand sanitizers and hand washing stations is also supported and assisted by the DKI Jakarta Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD), which is part of the DKI Jakarta COVID-19 Task Force," said Kamil.
