JAKARTA - The South Sumatra High Prosecutor's Office (Kejati) said that Celebrity and Tiktokers Lina Luthfiawati or @Linamukherjee_ will soon undergo a trial for blasphemy cases due to content eating pork skin.

Head of the Legal Information Section of the South Sumatra Prosecutor's Office, Vanny Yulia Eka Sari, said that Lina's suspect file was formally and materially complete or P21.

"The case file was declared complete or P21 today after previously conducting research on the results of the exposure on Thursday (June 22)," he said in Palembang, South Sumatra, Friday, June 23, which was confiscated by Antara.

According to him, every element listed by investigators from the South Sumatra Regional Police Special Criminal Investigation Directorate (Polda) in the case file has been carefully studied by the prosecutor's team.

In the case file, the suspect Lina Luthfiawati was charged with violating Article 28 paragraph (2), in conjunction with Article 45 paragraph (2) of the Electronic Information and Transactions Law (ITE).

"Therefore, currently the prosecutor's office is just waiting for the submission of the suspect and evidence by the police investigators," he said.

He said that after later the police investigators handed over the suspect and evidence (phase II) to the prosecutor's office, the prosecution process would then be carried out.

"If the public prosecutor argues that from the results of the investigation, prosecution can be carried out, the prosecutor will immediately make an indictment," he said.

Previously, a legal adviser named Sapriadi reported Lina's celebrity to the South Sumatra Police SPKT on March 15, 2023.

At that time, Lina was reported for allegedly committing religion through video content that was widely spread through the TikTok and Instagram accounts @Linamukherjee_.

In the video that lasts more than 5 minutes, Lina admits that she is an Muslim who deliberately eats pork skin by reciting prayers even though the law is haram.

Director of the Directorate of Special Criminal Investigation of the South Sumatra Regional Police, Kombes Pol Agung Marlianto, stated that in a series of investigations, Lina's actions were considered blasphemy.

This was known after the Sub-Directorate V Cyber Investigators of the Special Criminal Investigation Directorate received sufficient evidence, including the Fatwa Letter of the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) which stated that the information provided by the suspect Lina included blasphemy.

Police investigators confiscated a cell phone used by the suspect to record a video and one social media account @Linamukherjee_.

According to him, the completeness of the evidence is supported by the statements of several witnesses and several experts, ranging from sociologists, linguists, criminal experts, and IT experts.

"Everyone stated that Lina blasphemed religion," he said.
