JAKARTA - The Public Prosecutor (JPU) highlighted several statements by Rizieq Shihab contained in a memorandum of defense or a plea for the swab test case at the UMMI Hospital. Rizieq often uses harsh words that are inappropriate to be expressed in court.

"There is no need to file a defense with words that violate the nation's norms with unhealthy words that put emotion forward, let alone blaspheme," said the prosecutor during the trial at the East Jakarta District Court, Tuesday, June 14.

Rizieq's words, which were considered harsh, were for example accusing the prosecutor of being seditious, deceitful or underhanded, cunning, and without shame. Those words were considered as an insult to the prosecutor.

"There is no shame, disgust, deceit and cunning as 40, 42, 43 46, 108, 112. It is customary to lie, stubborn, stubborn evil maneuvers, which demon is possessed, very evil and disturbing, as in pleas," said the prosecutor.

In addition, the prosecutor also mentioned Rizieq's statement that the prosecutor was only used as a tool for the oligarchs as a baseless accusation. Thus, the statement is inappropriate.

Moreover, Rizieq Shihab's social status, who is called the Grand Imam of the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI) should be an example of good attitude and speech.

"Without a filter, sentences like this were uttered by the defendant and should not have been said who claimed to have kulkarimah character, but the defendant easily used harsh words as above," said the prosecutor.

"It turns out that what is being touted as the high priest is just a figment," continued the prosecutor.

For information, at the previous trial Rizieq also considered the prosecutor's demand for 6 years in prison to be very unreasonable. Because, the case that ensnared him was a violation of health protocols.

"After I heard and read the prosecutor's demands, which sentenced me to 6 years in prison. The prosecutor's demands are unreasonable and beyond reason, even too sadistic and immoral," said Rizieq.
