JAKARTA - The National Police Headquarters said Permadi Arya alias Abu Janda was still a witness. Permadi Arya was reported due to cases of arrogant Islamic tweets and alleged hate speech against Natalius Pigai.
"There are no suspects yet, the last one being questioned is Abu Janda's brother, who is still in the status of a witness. Teuku Zulkarnain was also examined as a witness. What will the progress be, will be conveyed later,” said the Head of Public Information Bureau (Karo Penmas), Police Public Relations Division, Brigadier General Rusdi Hartono, Monday, February 8.
He emphasized that investigators are still looking for evidence related to the alleged crime.
On Thursday, February 4, Abu Janda was investigated over reports of hate speech against Natalius Pigai.
He acknowledged his statement on his Twitter account, @permadiaktivis1, which uses evolutionary diction to insult Pigai's way of thinking, not his physique.
"Yes, if you say I insulted his way of thinking, that's right (insulting)," said Abu Janda at Bareskrim Polri, Thursday, February 4.
Abu Janda's statement was made because Pigai first mocked General (ret) AM Hendropriyono.
"It was solely because Pigai's tweet questioned the general's capacity, I replied back, 'What capacity you have? Is it finished yet? Your way of thinking is finished yet?'" he said.
