JAKARTA - The Hanura Party cadre Ambroncius Nababan has finished undergoing investigations in connection with the alleged case of SARA-based hate speech on social media against Papuan activist Natalius Pigai. Until now, Ambroncius' status is still a witness.

"The person concerned has been examined as a witness," said Karo Penmas, Police Public Relations Division, Brigadier General Rusdi Hartono, to reporters, Tuesday, January 26.

However, regarding the results of the investigation, Rusdi was reluctant to elaborate. The reason is that it is the authority of the investigator.

"What we can inform is that the person concerned has been examined and the results of the examination are under the authority of the investigator," he said.

As previously, Ambroncius Nababan underwent an examination at the Police Criminal Investigation Unit, on Monday, January 25. He was examined regarding the uploaded photo of Natalius Pigai juxtaposed with a gorilla

Before being examined he admitted that the post was his act. But the post was not intended to be offensive. But only to criticize Natalius Pigai.

"There is nothing (racist). (Only to) criticize," said Ambroncius.

The criticism, said Ambroncius, was directed at Natalius Pigai because he did not believe in the Sinovac vaccine. But his disbelief was expelled to the public. So, it can interfere with government programs.

"That Pak Pugai helps you if you disagree with Sinovac, it doesn't matter. Everyone can disagree, but don't expose you that you don't believe in Sinovac. And (mentioning) I will buy products from abroad. That's a provocation. , that's the bottom line, "he explained
