JAKARTA - Former Democrat Ferdinand Hutahaean considered Rizieq Shihab's virtual rejection of the trial was just a scenario. Rizieq just wanted to make a scene so that the substance of the case could not be seen by the public.

"So that the public does not grasp the substance of the case where there will be many questions that will show who Rizieq Sihab is. This rejection tends to be a mere drama," said Ferdinand via his Twitter tweet, @FerdinandHaean3.

Ferdinand immediately quipped the alleged case of a nasty chat that had stirred up between Rizieq Shihab and Firza Husein. Screenshots of conversations via WhatsApp with pornographic content were uncovered by the baladacintarizieq.com site.

"Fortunately, the nasty chat case in the past was not brought to trial, huh!" said Ferdinand.

I suspect that the rejection of the virtual trial is just to make a scene. So that the public does not grasp the substance of the case and there will be many questions that will show who Rizieq Sihab is. This rejection tends to be just a drama. Fortunately the case of nasty chat in the past was not brought to trial, huh!

Ferdinand added, commotion or chaos is another strategy that a criminal uses if he fails the previous strategy.

"To cover up that he is a criminal. Refusing the court by pretending to be a victim of injustice, even though the trial was there to give him justice," he said.

Rizieq Shihab will undergo a further trial. There were at least three cases, namely, suspected crowd and violations of health protocols (prokes) in Petamburan and Megamendung, as well as cases related to the results of the swab at UMMI Hospital in Bogor.

For hearings in cases of alleged crowd and process violations will be held with an exception reading agenda.
