JAKARTA - Rizieq Shihab's team of lawyers was not shown to be included in the East Jakarta District Court. In fact, they were involved in an argument with the police on guard.

Based on VOI monitoring, at around 09.30 WIB, Rizireq Shihab's team of lawyers was in front of the East Jakarta District Court. They waited for a moment on the sidewalk.

Until finally, someone from the court came and communicated with them. However, their communication was carried out from quite a distance and was blocked by the fence of the East Jakarta District Court.

This is because court officials are inside the court area while Rizieq's lawyers are outside.

Once heard, one of Rizieq's lawyers, Ichwan Tuankota, asked the court to return the card if they were not allowed to enter.

"Mas, if you can't enter the card, please return it," said Ichwan.

It is not clear what was discussed. However, it was heard that a team of lawyers asked to be admitted to attend the trial.

Until finally, the team of lawyers tried to get closer to the front of the gate to communicate about the entry permit. Not long after, Rizieq's lawyers were allowed to enter the court.

Meanwhile, Rizieq Shihab will undergo trial on cases of alleged incitement and violation of health protocols in Petamburan and Megamendung.

In addition, Rizieq will also face trial regarding the results of the swab at UMMI Hospital in Bogor. The three trials were scheduled for reading the prosecutor's response to the exception filed by Rizieq Shihab.
