JAKARTA - The public prosecutor (JPU) at the trial of the UMMI Hospital swab test results considered Refly Harun as a competent expert. Refly Harun was presented as a relief expert from the camp of the defendant Rizieq Shihab.

Refly Harun did not consider him a competent expert when the prosecutor was given the opportunity to ask the experts. However, the prosecutor was reluctant to ask Refly.

The reason is that Refly's ability is not in the field that is being brought up in the trial.

"First, expert Refly Harun is an expert on state administration, who is concerned that he is an expert in the field of constitution so that this case is applied criminal law so that we put aside the expert's testimony," said one of the prosecutors at the trial at the East Jakarta District Court, Wednesday, May 19.

The prosecutor also considered that Refly Harun should not sit as an expert and give an opinion. Hearing this statement, the panel of judges questioned the prosecutor's intention.

"Good to be an expert Refly Harun, bro, refuse because you think that you are not competent, right? Because it is not suitable for your field?" asked the judge.

"Yes, assembly," replied the prosecutor.

In fact, it was not only Refly who was rejected by the prosecutor. There are three experts who are deemed incompetent to give an opinion. They include language expert from UI Frans Asisi, health law expert from UGM M Luthfi Hakim and criminal expert Abdhul Chair.

"There were 4 experts that you rejected, you no longer have the right to ask questions because you have rejected them," said the panel of judges.

For information, Rizieq Shihab's team of lawyers presented six experts in the trial of the UMMI Hospital swab test results. They are, Criminal Law Expert and HRS Center Director, dr. Abdhul Chair Ramadhan; Epidemiologist from Sebelas Maret University Tonang Dwi Ardianto; Linguist from the University of Indonesia Frans Asisi Datang; Health Law Expert Muhammad Luthfi Hakim, Expert on State Administration Refly Harun and Criminal Theorist Prof. Muzakir
