Haedar asked all society, started from police, government, and religious leaders to participate in the handling of former Gafatar members. He explained police must do monitoring and investigate figures and leaders of Gafatar in order to be prosecuted.

"The clerics have an important role in providing guidance to former Gafatar members. For the members who already have a strong ideology, they should be given special and intensive guidance," Haedar told Republika on Tuesday (2/2).
