tate prosecutors demanded on Wednesday that the panel of judges at the Central Jakarta District Court sentence 15 members of the Islam Defenders Front (FPI) to eight months in prison for assaulting police officers during a rally in front of the City Council building.
Prosecutor Sugih said during the hearing that 15 FPI members had been provoked by senior members Novel Bamu'min and Shahabudin Anggawi.
'The defendants were provoked by statements such as 'kill Ahok' and 'don't be afraid of police officers, don't be afraid to be jailed', which were allegedly voiced by Novel and Shahabudin during the protest,' Sugih said.
Prosecutors have charged the pair with violating Article 214 clause 2 of the Criminal Code (KUHP) for assaulting officers on duty. In the previous hearing, state prosecutors had sought 10 months in prison for Novel and Shahabudin for their role in the assault.
