JAKARTA - It is known that Habiburokhman, a member of Commission III DPR from the Gerindra faction, is proposing that the case against Rizieq Shihab be resolved using a restorative justice approach.

Apart from that, Habiburokhman also said that he would oversee the legal process in the case of alleged racism against Papuan human rights activists, Natalius Pigai.

This was confirmed as quoted by VOI from his personal Twitter account @habiburokhman, Monday, January 25, 2021.

Habiburokhman's tweets in response to the statement by the Chairman of Pro Jokowi Amin Volunteers (Projamin), Ambroncius Nababan in online media who apologized to Natalius Pigai and the Papuan people for racist remarks to Pigai.

"I think this is a clarification and at the same time an acknowledgment that what he said was true to Bung Pigai," tweeted Habiburokhman.

Habiburokhman also admitted that he was very sad to read Ambroncius' statement. "I will closely guard the handling of this case, I hope my brother, Bung Pigai, can get justice," he concluded.

As is known, Ambroncius Nababan's racist act was carried out via his Facebook account. Ambroncius Nababan posted a photo of Natalius side by side with a gorilla, according to a circulating screenshot.

"Edodoeee pace. Your vaccine is not a sinovac pace, but your brother said it was rabies vaccine. I agree with the pace," Ambroncius Nababan posted on Facebook.

Ambroncius even acknowledged the upload. Ambroncius explained that the upload was a form of criticism to Natalius Pigai in response to Pigai's statement rejecting the Sinovac brand of COVID-19 vaccine.
