JAKARTA - Islamic Defenders Front (FPI) lawyer Ichwan Tuankotta claimed that the crowd who came to Soekarno-Hatta Airport to pick up FPI leader Rizieq Shihab had obeyed the health protocol.
"Of course the health protocol must be implemented. Many have masks," said Islamic Defenders Front (FPI) lawyer Ichwan Tuankotta to VOI, Tuesday, November 10.
However, he did not deny that there were people who did not apply health protocols.
For those who do not wear masks, Ichwan emphasized that they should not approach Rizieq Shihab.
"Those who do not have a mask cannot enter Terminal 3," he said.
Based on circulating photos and videos. The masses of Rizieq Shihab's supporters were quite a lot. They chose to walk from the airport toll road to terminal 3. Some of them appeared to be wearing no masks and did not exercise distance guarding.
Previously, Rizieq Shihab announced that he would immediately return to Indonesia on November 9, 2020 using a flight at 19.30 Saudi Arabia time.
He and his family plan to return to Indonesia using an airplane with flight number SV-816 and arrive on Tuesday, November 10, 2020 at Terminal 3 of Soekarno-Hatta Airport at 09.00 WIB.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Health (Kemenkes) appealed to Rizieq Shihab to carry out self-quarantine at his residence for two weeks or 14 days after arriving in the country.
According to the Director General of P2P of the Ministry of Health, Budi Hidayat, self-quarantine at this residence is a procedure that must be carried out by anyone who has just arrived from abroad.
"If Indonesian citizens and foreigners have brought negative PCR results from abroad and are declared valid by the officers of the Port Health Office (KKP) then the examination is declared not sick and there are no health risk factors, then they can continue their journey and undergo self-quarantine at their home or residence. for 14 days, "said Budi.
However, according to Rizieq's lawyer, Sugito said that Rizieq did not carry out independent isolation upon arrival in the country. Sugito said, Rizieq had undergone a swab test for COVID-19 detection before departing from Saudi Arabia. However, Sugito did not mention Rizieq's swab test results.
"He (Rizieq) has swab. So, there is probably no problem. But, don't let the public put Habib Rizieq in disobedience to health protocol issues," said Sugito.
Sugito asked the public not to discriminate against Rizieq about having to undergo 14 days of self-quarantine as a traveler. Because, Sugito views that many people who returned from abroad did not undergo independent isolation.
"The provisions (swab tests) must be obeyed but also not subject to discrimination. There are also many people who freely leave the country without swab, only PCR and can carry out activities. Do high-ranking officials in Indonesia also have to isolate independently?" said Sugito.
