JAKARTA - The defendant in the case of the swab test result at the UMMI Hospital in Bogor, Rizieq Shihab, continued to sing along with a number of names while reading the defense memorandum or plea at the East Jakarta District Court, Thursday, June 10 today. One of them is Diaz Hendropriyono.

Rizieq said that Diaz, who was the former General Chair of the PKPI, was strongly suspected of being involved in the massacre of 6 special paramilitary members of the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI) in December 2020.

Rizieq's song immediately invited comments. One of them came from the Indonesian Solidarity Party (PSI) politician, Muannas Alaidid.

Muannas said Rizieq's statement was a serious and cruel accusation. "This is a serious accusation, like the adage that slander is more abusive than the alleged murder," explained Muannas via his Twitter account, @muannas_alaidid, Thursday night.

"I hope that Mr. Diaz reports & takes legal steps as a citizen," Muannas appealed.

Rizieq openly dragged Diaz's name into the massacre of 6 special FPI troops while reading the pledoi at the East Jakarta District Court. "One of the Presidential Staff for Intelligence is Diaz Hendropriyono who is strongly suspected of being involved in the massacre of my six bodyguards on December 7, 2020," said Rizieq.

The former FPI Leader was able to predict this through Diaz's uploads on his official Instagram and Twitter accounts with the words, 'See you in 2026'. "This is a clear sign of the plan to confine me," said Rizieq.
