JAKARTA - The National Police are facing a number of obstacles in their efforts to arrest the suspect in the alleged blasphemy case, Jozeph Paul Zhang. These obstacles include the issue of red notices.

"Paul Zhang, until now the red notice has not been issued," said the Head of the International Relations Division (Hubinter) of the National Police Inspector General Johni Asadoma to reporters, Tuesday, September 28.

Constraints faced because they have not been able to complete the requirements in the issuance of red notices. Because, Interpol has certain standards to publish it.

"Yes, there are several requirements that must be completed. So, we didn't submit the red notice to the Interpol Secretary General in Lyon immediately, they have standards that must be met, then they will issue it," said Jhoni.

However, when he was asked about the standards from Interpol that had not been met, Jhoni was reluctant to explain it. Instead, he said it was an investigation.

"That's the investigator's consumption," said Jhoni.

The Bareskrim Polri previously took the effort to file a red notice against suspects suspected of being abroad. However, until now the red notice on behalf of Jozeph Paul Zhang alias Shindy Paul Soerjomoelyono has not been published.

According to Agus, Jozeph has left Indonesia and settled in a country that is not under the jurisdiction of the National Police, such as the Netherlands and Germany.

In this case Jozeph Paul Zhang has been named a suspect. He was charged with Article 156 Letter a of the Criminal Code on blasphemy and Article 28 Paragraph (2) of the Law on Information and Electronic Transactions (ITE) with a threat of 5 years in prison.
