ogor Police have named 34 suspects in the attack on a mosque located in Az-Zikra housing complex in Sentul, Bogor, West Java, over a banner.

Police questioned 38 people believed to be involved in the incident. West Java Police spokesman Sr. Comr. Pudjo Hartono said 34 of the 38 people had been charged of violating several articles in the Criminal Code.

The mob of men reportedly from four different community organizations confronted the mosque'€™s management on Wednesday night, demanding that they remove a banner depicting the words '€œAz-Zikra residents against Shia'€.

The mosque management as well as nearby residents refused to do so, which led to the fight, where the mob attacked on one of the mosque staff.
