JAKARTA - Ambroncius Nababan's team of lawyers has not planned to file a pretrial after his client was named a suspect in a case of posting a photo of Natalius Pigai being juxtaposed with a gorilla. Currently, they are still considering the progress of the case.

"The matter of pretrial is, because frankly, because the Police Headquarters will respond to it professionally, we will think about pretrial issues later," said Ambroncius' lawyer, Herman Sitompul, at the Police Criminal Investigation Unit, Wednesday, January 27.

In fact, Herman said, other legal steps such as suspension of detention have yet to be taken. The reason is similar, so that the two methods will not be implemented in the near future.

"Likewise regarding his suspension of detention, because it is our right," he said.
