JAKARTA - A member of the legal team for the Munarman terrorism suspect, Aziz Yanuar, denied that his client was paralyzed and had difficulty speaking while at the Metro Jaya Police detention center. According to Aziz, Munarman's condition is fine.

So, Aziz said, information or news about Munarman being unhealthy or something else was not true.

"His condition is healthy and fine," said Aziz in his statement, Wednesday, June 2.

According to Aziz, the legal team is always monitoring Munarman's condition. For that, he once again confirmed that the news was a lie. Because Munarman is in good health.

On this occasion, Azis said that Munarman's condition was very important. In fact, Densus 88 Anti-terror has paid more attention to the group.

"Munarman's condition and health are of great concern to the police and Densus 88," he said.

The information that said Munarman was paralyzed and had difficulty speaking was uploaded by the Twitter account @m1n4_ 95. It was written that Munarman was paralyzed and had difficulty speaking.

"BREAKING NEWS!!! Bang Munarman has been forgotten by us, there are many rumors circulating that he is now unable to walk and could become permanently paralyzed, it is also difficult to speak clearly due to the constant torture since his arrest on 27 April 2021. Even Munarman was only given eaten twice a week by the police so that he has been very persecuted. And rumors circulated that it was Jokowi's own designer. LAKNATULLAH REGIME!!"

Munarman was arrested by Densus 88 on Tuesday, April 27 at around 03.30 p.m at Modern Hills Housing, Cinangka, Pamulang, South Tangerang.

During the arrest process, Munarman was not given the opportunity to explain anything. In fact, to just use sandals. When he arrived at Metro Jaya Police, Munarman was taken away blindfolded and handcuffed.

Munarman is suspected of mobilizing other people to commit acts of terrorism, having bad intentions to commit acts of terrorism, and hiding information about criminal acts of terrorism.

After the arrest of Munarman, the Densus 88 team also conducted a search of the former office of the banned FPI mass organization in Petamburan, Central Jakarta. During the search, the team found explosive raw materials for TATP or triacetone triperoxide, acetone, and nitrate.

In addition, he has also been named a suspect a week before his arrest or April 20. The suspect was identified based on a certificate from the Police.
