AKARTA: The police have yet to name any suspects in a violent attack allegedly involving members of the hard-line Islam Defenders Front (FPI) in Banyuwangi, East Java.
On Thursday, police detectives at the National Police headquarters in South Jakarta carried out a review of the case.
Legislators Rieke Diah Pitaloka and Nursuhud, both from the House of Representatives' Commission IX overseeing health affairs, also attended the review.
"I'm really disappointed. The examination concluded that the police have failed to find sufficient evidence and suspects, despite the fact that we have handed over evidence and photographs to detectives," Rieke said after the meeting.
Rieke and Nursuhud, along with fellow lawmaker Ribka Tjiptaning, had initiated a meeting on the new health bill at a restaurant in Banyuwangi.
Several FPI members arrived uninvited, and proceeded to break up the meeting.- JP
