JAKARTA - Bareskrim Polri arrested Soni Ernata alias Ustaz Maaher At-Thuwailibi on suspicion of spreading hate speech that smelled of SARA. His arrest took place this morning.
"Yes, it is true (Ustaz Maaher At-Thuwailibi was arrested)," said Head of Public Relations of the National Police, Inspector General Argo Yuwono to VOI, Thursday, December 3.
But Argo did not explain in detail the arrest process. For now, Ustaz Maaher At-Thuwailibi is still under intensive examination.
For your information, the case that caught Ustaz Maaher At-Thuwailibi began with the report of Waluyo Wasis Nugroho on November 27.
This report was made because Ustaz Maaher At-Thuwailibi was considered to have insulted Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) cleric Habib Lutfi bin Yahya. Maaher uploaded a tweet on the @ustadzmaaher_ account, 'beautiful wearing a hijab like a Banser kiai' by posting a photo of Habib Lutfi.
So that Ustaz Maaher At-Thuwailibi is presumed by Article 45a paragraph (2) in conjunction with Article 28 paragraph (2) of Law No. 19 of 2016 concerning Amendments to Law No. 11 of 2008 concerning Electronic Information and Transactions.
