JAKARTA - The report from the General Chairperson of the Jokowi Mania Volunteers (Joman), Immanuel Ebenezer alias Noel, regarding Denny Siregar's tweet was rejected by the Criminal Investigation Unit at the National Police Headquarters. Instead of cooling the atmosphere, Denny seemed to suggest Noel complete the report file with strong evidence so that the police can follow up.

According to Denny, the law is not based on assumptions or emotions alone. It is necessary to have strong evidence that a criminal act has occurred in the report so that the file is received and the initial title of the case is processed by police investigators.

"The law is not an assumption, not a perception and not an emotion. The law is evidence. So, strengthen the evidence before reporting it to the police," said Denny Siregar through his Twitter account, @Dennysiregar7, Thursday 10 March.

Denny assessed that the report submitted to the police was without evidence and only accentuated emotions as a boomerang for those who reported it.

"Because if you take it with emotion and without evidence, the sword of law will turn on you later," he said.

As is known, Noel reported Denny Siregar to the Criminal Investigation Unit at the National Police Headquarters on Wednesday, March 9 afternoon. The report was caused by Denny being considered provocation on social media after Noel became a light witness on his own initiative in a trial with the defendant Munarman.

However, Noel's report against Denny was rejected by the police on Wednesday 9 March. The substance of the article that was suspected of Denny was deemed inappropriate at the Criminal Investigation Unit of the National Police Headquarters.

Before the report was submitted to the police, Noel had given a warning to those suspected of stirring up the atmosphere under the pretext of defaming his name. Noel did not reveal the name but emphasized that the party had violated the ITE Law.

He said his patience had crossed the line on the pretext that there were videos and narrations that cornered him, which had been widely spread on social media and WhatsApp groups.

"From all of that, I will take legal action against anyone involved in spreading it," Noel said in a video clip circulating on social media recently.
