SEMARANG - The Blora Police, Central Java, arrested 24 spreaders of provocative Javanese leaflets that were troubling the public.
Blora Police Chief AKBP Wirqga Dimas Tama said the 24 people were then released after offering an apology for their actions.
"A total of 24 people have been detained at three locations in the Kedungtuban sub-district," he said, quoted by Antara, Thursday, August 12.
He explained that the production of the provocative leaflets began when residents gathered at a resident's house in a local village.
"They have a spontaneous idea which is then written in Javanese," said AKBP Wirqga.
The contents of the leaflet stated that all state assets belonged to their ancestors and would be asked to return them by looting.
The handwritten leaflets were then reproduced up to 1,500 sheets and then distributed to 8 sub-districts in Blora.
From the results of the investigation, 24 people suspected of being involved in the distribution of the provocative leaflets were arrested in three different locations.
"From the results of coordination with forkopimda, the 24 people were finally released after conveying apologies to the government and the community," he said.
In fact, the 24 people also received assistance with packages of basic necessities. The police chief called the 24 residents who had a wrong understanding.
