JAKARTA - A total of 663 action plans for preventing and countering terrorism in 2022 have been agreed by the Synergy Team of 46 ministries/agencies and the National Counterterrorism Agency (BNPT).
In his written statement, Head of BNPT Komjen Pol Boy Rafli Amar stated that of the 663 action plans, 209 of them were physical activities. While the remaining 454 are non-physical activities.
He explained that the groups targeted by the action plan included ex-terrorism convicts, those involved in radical groups, and their families.
“The program includes physical and non-physical development for deradicalization. The hope is that former radical groups will return to love the Republic of Indonesia," Boy said, quoted by Antara, Jakarta, Saturday, April 9.
He assessed that extreme understanding that leads to violence and acts of terror begins with an attitude of intolerance. Thus, the various action plans are designed to promote tolerance and reduce intolerant understanding and behavior in society.
In the same written broadcast, the Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal, and Security Affairs (Menkopolhukam) Mahfud MD reminded high-ranking ministries and institutions that terrorism is a cross-border crime so that it becomes a problem for the world community.
He said that currently ministries and institutions in Indonesia have helped BNPT run various deradicalization programs that have been running for 7 years.
Since last year, the deradicalization program has been carried out specifically in five priority provinces, namely Central Sulawesi, West Nusa Tenggara, East Java, Central Java, and West Java.
"I believe we can realize counter-terrorism in five provinces," said Mahfud.
The counter-terrorism action plan for this year was signed by representatives from 46 ministries and institutions with the BNPT in Jakarta, Friday, April 8.
The signing ceremony was witnessed by the Head of BNPT, Menkopolhukam, and representatives of 46 high-ranking ministries and institutions that are members of the 2022 BNPT Synergy Team.
