JAKARTA - Kasatpol PP of Bogor Regency, Agus Ridho, said that the crowd at the groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of the Islamic Boarding School for Agro-cultural Markaz Syariah by Rizieq Shihab was one of the considerations for the Bogor Regency Government (Regency Government) to extend the implementation of Large-Scale Social Compassion (PSBB).

Initially, the public prosecutor (JPU) questioned the reason for the Bogor Regency Government to extend the PSBB mass for the sixth time.

Agus then answered, the decision to extend the PSBB crowd was due to an increase in positive cases of COVID-19.

"Was there an extension to the 6th PSBB?" asked the prosecutor during a trial at the East Jakarta District Court, Monday, April 19.

"Make it because there are additional cases of Bogor Regency to do an extension again," said Agus.

The prosecutor then asked about the decision to extend the sixth PSBB after the crowd. Agus also agreed. Because, the spread of COVID-19 in Bogor Regency is worrying.

"Bogor Regency at that time was red, for the Megamendung sub-district," he said.

In addition, on the previous occasion, Agus also mentioned that after the crowd, the Bogir Regency Government held a rapid test in several areas. As a result, dozens of people were reactive to COVID-19.

"(Report) Health and puskesmas, there was a report to the Task Force that there were 20 people who were reactive," he said.

Meanwhile, in this case Rizieq Shihab was accused of not complying with the implementation of health quarantine during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Rizieq Shihab continued to participate in the groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of the Markaz Syariah Agro-Cultural Islamic Boarding School in Kuta Village, Megamendung District, Bogor Regency.

"(The defendant) did not comply with the administration of health quarantine as referred to in Article 9 paragraph (1) and / or obstructed the implementation of the Health Quarantine so that it was a public health emergency," said the prosecutor reading out the indictment.

Thus, Rizieq Shihab was charged with violating Article 93 of Law Number 6 of 2018 concerning Health Quarantine in conjunction with Article 14 paragraph (1) of Law Number 4 of 1984 concerning Outbreaks of Infectious Diseases in conjunction with Article 216 paragraph (1) of the Criminal Code.
