REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA – A law observer of Indonesian Islamic University (UII) Mudzakir said the police might include Steven Hadisurya Sulistyo, a young man wo insult West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) Governor TGH Muhammad Zainul Majdi (TGB), to the wanted list as he tried to leave the country. It would be better if police ask the Interpol to issue red notice against him as an international fugitive network.
“When we look at the case, I think it is better to give red notice as international community had the same concern to discrimination and human right violation,” said Mudzakir when contacted by Republika.co.id on Thursday (April 27).
