CENTRAL JAVA - The police arrested the perpetrator suspected of provoking the rejection of the implementation of restrictions on community activities (PPKM) through social media in Brebes, Central Java.

The Head of Public Relations of the Central Java Police, Kombes Iqbal Alqudusy, said the perpetrator was a resident of Losari, Brebes Regency with the initials MI (27). Through his social media account, the perpetrator called for a gathering to reject the Emergency PPKM.

The case, continued Iqbal, began when the West Brebes toll exit blocking officer examined 2 people who claimed to be participating in the Brebes Mobil action against PPKM.

The action will be held at the Brebes District Square. From the examination of the two people, the police then traced the existence of the call to reject the PPKM through the Facebook account, Losari Dalam Berita.

From that investigation, the police then secured MI as the uploader of the call for the rejection of the PPKM.

"The method is to call for gatherings," Iqbal said via an electronic message quoted from Antara, Wednesday, July 21.

For his actions, the suspect was charged with Law Number 4 of 1984 concerning infectious disease outbreaks and Law Number 6 of 2018 concerning Health Quarantine.
