In this case, Luhut reported Haris Azhar and Fatia Maulidiyanti for the circulation of a video entitled "There is Lord Luhut Behind Intan Jaya's Economic Relations-Military Ops" on Haris Azhar's YouTube account.
The determination of the suspect was strongly condemned by the National Committee for Agrarian Reform (KNPA). KNPA considers the police to have criminalized activists. Because, according to him, the law should not be given to critics.
Fines and criminal sanctions for critics accused of defamation should be replaced with the right to correct or answer.
