JAKARTA - The suggestion that the Rizieq Shihab case be resolved through a restorative justice approach is a topic of conversation. This proposal was submitted by a member of Commission III of the DPR from Gerindra Habiburokhman.

Habiburokhman in the Commission III working meeting with the Attorney General said that restorative justice was the right approach to use because the case could not be delegated to Rizieq alone. What's more, Rizieq has admitted his mistake.

"I heard directly that he had clarified his apologies, I even heard that he paid a fine," said Habiburokhman, Tuesday, January 26.

In relation to this proposal, who is Habiburokhman? Quoted from habiburokhman.com, before he became known as a member of the Gerindra faction of the DPR, his name was quite large in the legal world.

Habiburokhman is a lawyer. Born on September 17, 1974, he graduated from the Bachelor of Economic Law at the University of Lampung and the Master of Business Law at the University of Indonesia (UI).

His name began to be heard frequently after handling large business law cases. Some of these cases include disputes over ownership of the Indonesian Education Television (TPI) and a Malaysian palm oil investment company in East Kalimantan (Kaltim).

In the political field, this man who was born in Metro, Lampung was once a lawyer for the Gus Irawan-Soekirman pair. At that time, the case handled was the dispute over the election for the governor of North Sumatra.

In addition, he also became the Chairperson of the New Jakarta Advocacy Team, namely the Advocacy Team for the Joko Widodo-Basuki Tjahaja Purnama pair in the 2012 DKI Jakarta Pilgub. Two years later, Habiburkhman became the Coordinator of the Prabowo-Hatta Advocacy Team in the 2014 presidential election contest.
