On Tuesday, a member of National Movement to Safeguard Indonesian Council of Ulema’s Fatwa (GNPF MUI)’s legal team, Kapitra Ampera, said the police should investigate the party who distribute alleged pornographic content instead of questioning Habib Rizieq as victim of slander.
Moreover, there was no evidence of Habib Rizieq photo or voice in the video. Even if the screenshot was original, he questioned whether a personal chat could be a crime.
“Is it a violation of any law when a woman has personal photo collection? It is the person who steal and distributed it to be the suspect, not the victim of slanders,” said Kapitra in a press conference in AQL Center, South Jakarta on Tuesday (May 16).
Kapitra said the case was a fabricated to demoralize Habib Rizieq. He said Habib Rizieq was the central figure behind many recent demonstrations. He was argued to participate in making Basuki Tjahaja Purnama (Ahok) defeated during the Jakarta gubernatorial election. He also encouraged Ahok to be prosecuted.
Kapitra insisted that the case was not part of law enforcement, but morality turbulence. “There were many people tried to demoralize Habib Rizieq. There was a purpose to conduct assassination to his character. They want him to lose Muslims’ trust,” said Kapitra.
